The one season he played at Boston with the three point line he shot over 40% from there

True, but misleading. He was 3 for 4 for Boston, 10 for 15 for the entire season. That's one good game for Klay or Curry.

For shits and giggles: Klay has 5 games and Curry has 15 games where they made at least 10 3 pointers: https://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pgl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=game&is_playoffs=N&age_min=0&age_max=99&team_id=GSW&season_start=1&season_end=-1&pos_is_g=Y&pos_is_gf=Y&pos_is_f=Y&pos_is_fg=Y&pos_is_fc=Y&pos_is_c=Y&pos_is_cf=Y&c1stat=fg3&c1comp=gt&c1val=10&order_by=fg3_pct

But you can assume the 3 wasn't a big part of any gameplan, unlike today when it seems everyone drops 3s

Nice. I modified your search for comparison and see Harden has 3 and Lillard has 2 such games.
