This is unselfish basketball at its finest.

The Golden State Warriors had already guaranteed themselves a victory with a comically lopsided 92-50 first half against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. Their only mission for the third quarter was to force-feed Klay Thompson, who'd finally broken out of an early-season slump by drilling 10 (!) 3-pointers before the break.

The previous record for threes in a game was held by teammate Stephen Curry (13 in 2016), but instead of trying to preserve his own achievement, Curry worked harder than anyone to get Thompson open on Monday, and he was directly involved in all four of the latter's second-half triples.

This is Thompson's 11th make from deep, and his first of the second half. Draymond Green initiates the action up top, while Curry moves to set a screen for Thompson. After many years together, the Splash Brothers have developed a telepathic sense of how to get each other open:

The Bulls should have switched, but they're the league's worst defense for a reason. Credit Zach LaVine for at least trying to fight around the screen, but he's ultimately snagged by Curry. Cameron Payne literally does everything wrong by dropping back while keeping his hands down:

The result is a wide-open look for Thompson:

Thompson's 12th triple involved a similar action with Curry and Green. On the play, Curry dumps the rock into the post so he can move off the ball, and then sets a screen to free up Thompson. Again, the Bulls are scrambled as LaVine and Payne fail to communicate. It leads to another instance where LaVine gets hung up on Curry's screen, while Payne sits in the lane doing absolutely nothing:

Thompson's 13th three - which tied Curry's record - came in transition. Chicago does get back here, but Curry whips a gorgeous no-look pass right on the money to Thompson in the corner. This might sound like a broken record, but Payne's at fault for mindlessly sagging off Thompson to help in the lane for no reason:

After that shot, the Warriors did everything in their power to give Thompson the record, but the latter missed four straight attempts from deep - two of them coming off looks from Curry.

But as seen below with around five minutes left in the third quarter and Kevin Durant dribbling up the floor, Curry instinctively gravitates toward Thompson for another down screen. This time, Thompson catches the pass and makes no mistake, using the separation gained from Curry's screen and a quick sidestep before firing away for his 14th made triple of the evening:

After the game, Thompson told CSN Bay Area's Kerith Burke that it was actually Curry who made him aware of the record at halftime and encouraged him to "go get it." And in the clip above, Curry can be seen celebrating the 14th made triple along with his teammate.

"It's the best feeling, especially to see how happy your teammates are for you," Thompson said. "It's all love between us, and these guys have my back at all times. They know what I'm capable of, especially in the first six, seven games when I wasn't really hitting from the 3-point line. And to come out like this, I give all the credit to them because they were trying to find me as much as they could."
