Long-range specialist Thompson drained 12 shots from outside the arc with a vintage exhibition of shooting to power the Warriors to a 141-114 win.Thompson looked poised to beat his own NBA mark of 14 three-pointers in a single game, set in October 2018, but came up just short before exiting to a standing ovation at the Warriors Chase Center.Thompson's red-hot shooting was part of a stunning performance from three-point range by Golden State.The Warriors finished with 26 threes from 50 attempts -- just three shy of the all-time single-game record of 29 set by Milwaukee in 2020.Thompson received scoring support from Jordan Poole (21 points, 12 assists and four rebounds) and Andrew Wiggins (18 points) as the Warriors shrugged off the injury absence of Steph Curry to score a resounding win.Afterwards Thompson admitted he was hoping to have remained in the game before being withdrawn by Warriors coach Steve Kerr late in the fourth quarter."I was campaigning for it -- but we've got a quick turnaround with a game on Wednesday," said Thompson."And I don't think the basketball gods like it when you chase records.

Gotta let those happen organically," he added.In Portland, the on-fire Milwaukee Bucks rolled to an eighth straight win to move within striking distance of Boston at the top of the Eastern Conference.Brook Lopez scored 27 points while Giannis Antetokounmpo added 24 in a 127-108 Bucks win over the Trail Blazers.Damian Lillard led the Portland scoring with 28 points.In Detroit, Jayson Tatum's 34-point haul led the way as the Boston Celtics tightened their grip on the top spot in the Eastern Conference with a 111-99 win over the Pistons.Tatum, who is averaging more than 30 points per game this season, also added 11 rebounds
