The month of October was truly a strange time for Klay Thompson.

Klay began the season with the worst shooting stretch of his entire career. For the first seven games of the season, Thompson shot just 13.9 percent from the 3-point line and made just five shots from deep in total.

Then, out of nowhere, Klay caught fire and broke the NBA record for most 3-pointers in a single game. Thompson erupted for 14 3-pointers against the Chicago Bulls as he scored 52 points in just 27 minutes of playing time.

As a whole, this has been a poor shooting month for Klay. However, this one outlier game in which he put on one of the greatest shooting performances of all-time stands out enough to earn him a grade of a B-.
