RecapAusar Thompson stuffed the stat sheet on Thursday with 17 points (8-of-15 FGs), 11 rebounds, 11 assists, three steals and three blocks against the Wizards.
Thompson did a little bit of everything for Detroit in this game, which included the first triple-double of his career and a new career high for assists to go with a massive impact on the defensive end. Thompson’s rebounding and assist numbers have been way up to start the season, which has helped make up for a drop in defensive stats and field goal percentage, though he was excellent in all of those categories in this one. He is one of the best defensive players in the league, and he was able to get it done on offensive as well on Thursday.
