The Miami Heat kept their hot streak rolling with a 137-117 win over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night, and Klay Thompson walked away raving about one particular play from Giannis Antetokounmpo.

During the game, Antetokounmpo whipped a no-look, between-the-legs pass to Thompson in the corner, setting up one of the veteran sharpshooter’s six 3-pointers on the night. After the win, Thompson could not help but compare his new teammate’s vision to that of Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson.

“That was testament to Giannis’ skill level. Like, people get enamored with his ability to dunk and run, but my goodness, he’s like Magic at times with his vision. Like, he just knew I was in the corner. He didn’t even see me, just right through the legs. Hopefully it’s on SportsCenter,” Thompson said after the game, via the Heat official X account.

The four-time NBA champion even likened the dish to a football snap. “That was an incredible snap. That was like, on the money. Long snapper style,” Thompson said.

When asked about knocking down the shot, he kept it light. “Oh, yeah, I’m going to make that 65% of the time,” he quipped.

Thompson was sharp all night, finishing with 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting, including 6-of-11 from deep.

Antetokounmpo, meanwhile, showed off his all-around game, posting 34 points, 14 rebounds, eight assists and three blocks while shooting an efficient 13-of-17 from the field. Bam Adebayo added 20 points, while Davion Mitchell chipped in 15 points and nine assists.
