Thybulle’s 15 points came on 6-for-9 shooting from the field and a perfect 3-for-3 shooting from long range. He added five rebounds, a game-high four steals, and a game-high three blocks to complete his line. Thybulle came out hot, with two blocks in his first minute of play. He scored seven points on 3-for-5 shooting in the first quarter. His biggest offensive moment came in the fourth quarter, with 1:36 remaining in regulation and the game tied at 79-79, hitting a go-ahead three from the corner.
