Golden State Warriors shooting guardKlay Thompson made NBA history on Friday night, scoring a record-breaking 37 points in a single quarter against the Sacramento Kings. Fans obviously could barely believe what was happening as they watched the score go from 60-60 to 97-73, but what about Thompsons teammates? It turns out they were equally in shock, judging from their postgame reactions, tweets and Instagram posts.
Draymond Green, who managed to sneak in a layup between Thompsons seemingly nonstop jump shots and three-pointers, compared Thompsons effort to the video game NBA 2K15. Or, well, at least he tried to.
You dont get that hot in 2K. Them video games are real now. And that wasnt real. You cant do that in a video game! Green said before pausing, laughing and adding, I dont understand what you all want me to say! Yall are making me look like I dont know how to talk to the media at all right now. I honestly dont know what to tell yall right now.
Stephen Curry took a more humorous approach on Instagram.

Harrison Barnes posted a video, showing the team dumping some celebratory cooler water on Thompson.

Thompson also had something to say.
