• Klay Thompson has made a career-best 295 3-pointers with 1 game left.
Unless Hield makes 14+ and Klay gets blanked today, Klay will lead the league in made 3s for the first time in his career. 5 more makes will get him past Harden's 299 in '19-20 for sixth most in NBA history. (Tim Kawakami)
• Another game notes gem: The trio of Steph, Klay, and Jordan need 6 three-pointers between them to have the most 3-pointers by a trio of teammates in a single season in NBA history. (Kerith Burke)
• Chauncey Billups on Gary Payton II: “Gary’s done what he does. … He just knows how to play.” Billups emphasized how much GP2 helps Steph, Klay and Jordan Poole . (Dalton Johnson)
• Steph Curry (right hip contusion) and Jonathan Kuminga (right toe contusion) were listed as probable for Sunday’s regular-season finale in Portland, and are good to go per Steve Kerr pregame. (Madeline Kenney)
• Andrew Wiggins went through “some” 3-on-3 work yesterday and “a little” 5-on-5. Kerr said it’s be “irresponsible” to throw him out there before he’s ready: “Ideally we would win the game today and have these next five or six days to prepare, which would include some scrimmaging and getting Wiggs back in the fold with everything we're doing scheme-wise and execution-wise and he gets another week.” (Dalton Johnson, Madeline Kenney)
• Kerr on the must-win vs Portland: "We just gotta go win today. And that's a great situation to be in, all things considered the way this season has gone. It's been up and down and we've been through an awful lot but here we are, and so the ball’s in our court. We're ready to go. We just have to take care of business." (Kerith Burke, CJ Holmes)
• On Klay chasing 300 threes: “I am definitely concerned (laughs). My message will be you're much more likely to get it if you don't try to get it and that's the truth.”
• On a pair of the team’s iron men: “Loon and Jordan Poole are going to play in their 82nd games today. That's incredible. The durability, the availability each and every night.” (Kerith Burke)
