The force was strong in young Klay Thompson in a do-or-die Game 6 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night.

The other half of the Splash Brothers combo dropped a playoff career-high of 41 points in 39 minutes, including an NBA postseason record of 11 3-pointers to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 108-101 victory.

In the locker room after the game, Thompson proudly displayed his pair of lucky Yoda socks to reporters which he wore on the hardwood.

"I brought my Yoda socks to bring out my Jedi powers," Thompson told The Vertical's Michael Lee following his performance.

If the Warriors fall in Game 7 on Monday at Oracle Arena, will Thompson lean towards joining the dark side?
