Klay Thompson scored 21 of his 23 points in the first quarter, matching a Dallas record by hitting seven 3-pointers in the period, and the Mavericks breezed past the NBA-worst Washington Wizards 130-108.

The Dallas Mavericks hosted the Washington Wizards on Monday night and got out to a dominating start, thanks to future Hall of Famer Klay Thompson. He scored 21 points in the first quarter, outscoring the Wizards by himself, as Washington had just 16 points in the first 12 minutes.

Thompson tied a Mavericks record set by Luka Doncic three seasons ago with a vintage performance reminiscent of his prime with the Warriors.

Speaking of the game, Kevin Durant made headlines on social media was his unique interaction with the Wizards bench. A video went viral where KD had an NSFW roast directed at the Wizards bench while his teammate Nick Richards was shooting free throws.

On Monday evening, the Dallas Mavericks are playing the Washington Wizards (at home). Klay Thompson erupted for 21 points, two rebounds and two assists while shooting 7/10 from the three-point range in his first ten minutes of playing time.
