Amen Thompson News: Logs double-double in return

Thompson contributed 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 victory over Utah.

Thompson returned to action after taking a seat to tend his injured ankle, which has kept him out of seven games this month. The second-year pro's mid-range shot was on point in the decisive win, giving the Rockets an offensive shot in the arm as they try to maintain the second seed in the Western Conference. Houston has an upcoming back-to-back set that includes a match against the Lakers on Monday, and Thompson may miss one of those games for injury management.
