He has four games with at least 10 three-pointers this season and scored 54 points in a Jan. Friday marked the third time in the past seven games Thompson scored at least 30 points. They have yet to hit their stride, but if Curry returns soon and Thompson keeps playing at such a high level, no one would be surprised to see them make a deep postseason run. Thompson made history against the Rockets by becoming the first player in NBA history to make at least 12 threes multiple times in a single season.
