Marcus Thornton explodes for season-high 36
Marcus Thornton - G - Sacramento Kings
Feb. 26, 2013 - 11:25 PM ET
Marcus Thornton exploded for a season-high 36 points on Tuesday, hitting 11-of-18 shots and 8-of-12 3-pointers as the Kings fell to the Heat in double-overtime.
Thornton became the highest bench scorer in a single game this season and was simply feeling it tonight. His game log has been all over the map, but he's scored in double figures in five of his last seven games and is healthy again. If you have someone to drop, it's time to pick Thornton up and hope this wasn't a fluke. Just don't be surprised to see Keith Smart get in his head another time or two along the way.
