Kerr: Klay 'ridiculous' in Game 6

After watching his shooting guard break an NBA record for 3-pointers in a playoff game, Golden State Warriors' Steve Kerr had a simple explanation for his team's Game 6 victory.

"Well obviously, Klay Thompson was ridiculous," Kerr told reporters.

Thompson was on fire for Golden State, particularly in the second half, hitting seven of his record 11 threes to help lead the Warriors in their fourth-quarter comeback. Thompson's 41 points were the most by a Golden State player this postseason, and couldn't have come at a better time for a team facing elimination.

"We feel a lot better now than we did a few days ago, but it doesn't guarantee anything," Kerr added.

Down 3-1 in the Western Conference finals just days ago, the Warriors have bounced back following back-to-back victories to even the series.

Game 7 will take place on Monday night at Oracle Arena.
