His 41 points equal his own leading since his return after two years out of actionwhile the 10 triples are his maximum in that period. The last time he hit double-digit three-pointers was on January 21, 2019 against the Lakers (10-of-11), close to four years ago.
Thompson’s 10 3-pointers also matched the peak of 2022-2023after Darius Garland hit the same number on Nov. 13 during a Cavaliers-Timberwolves.
