Klay Thompson broke the record for most three-pointers in a Dallas Mavericks debut on Thursday night. Thompson made six of 10 three-point attempts and finished second on the team in scoring with 22 points.

After the game Thompson was thrilled to learn he had set a franchise record right out of the gate, but no one was happier about his performance than Luka Doncic. Luka assisted on five of Klay's six three-pointers.

By the third quarter he was clearly feeling the connection as he threw a pass to a wide-open Thompson and immediately turned around to look at Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller and start celebrating while Klay took a dribble and shot the ball.

"He's looking at you and I."

Luka knows his new teammate Klay is MONEY from deep!

This isn't after he's shot the ball. He hadn't even started his shooting motion by the time Doncic was certain it was going in. A bit premature, but he was right so it just looks really cool.
