Klay Thompson broke an NBA playoff record shared by four players that stood for almost 20 years Saturday, but he feels he could have hit more than 11 3-pointers in Game 6 against the Thunder.

"I should have had at least 13 because I missed some wide-open looks early," Thompson said after the 108-101 season-saving Warriors win, according to ESPN's Tim MacMahon. Thompson finished with 41 points on 14-of-30 shooting, including 11-of-18 beyond the arc.

"I had no idea what the record was," he added. "I didn't even know I had 11 threes. I was just trying to be aggressive, whether that was getting to the rim or getting a good shot from beyond the perimeter.

"Feels good to own a record, but it will feel much better if we close them out on Monday."
