Isaiah Thomas scores 18 points in loss
Isaiah Thomas - G - Sacramento Kings
Jan. 11, 2013 - 1:40 AM ET

Isaiah Thomas hit an incredible bank shot with nine seconds left in regulation to send Thursday's game against the Mavericks into overtime, finishing with 18 points, two rebounds, four assists, two steals and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes.

He shot 6-of-11 from the field and made all five attempts from the charity stripe in a 111-109 loss. Thomas' minutes are on the rise again, playing in 28.3 minutes per game over his last four and he scored 12.5 per game in that stretch. The Kings look like a much better team when he is on the floor due to increased ball movement and he's worth a look for PG-needy owners. Aaron Brooks played 17 minutes and scored just four points with one assist.
