On the most recent episode of NBC Sports' "The Habershow" podcast, Tom Haberstroh was joined by guest Ben Cohen of The Wall Street Journal.

When discussing Cohen's new book, “The Hot Hand: The Mystery and Science of Streak," the two had the following exchange:

Cohen: "What is the hottest you've ever seen anyone on an NBA floor?"

Haberstroh: "Oh, it's gotta be Klay Thompson with the 37-point third quarter."

Cohen: "Is it the 37-point quarter or the 60 points in three quarters? I think it's the 37, too."

Haberstroh: "Thirty-seven because he was so cold going into that third quarter."

On Jan. 23, 2015, Klay scored 37 points over a span of nine minutes and 39 seconds in the third quarter against the Sacramento Kings.

They both were epic performances and there is no word to describe how hot he was.
