Ausar Thompson

Known more for his defensive prowess than his improving offensive game, Ausar Thompson showcased his expanding range in spectacular fashion. With the halftime clock winding down against Brooklyn, the Pistons' versatile forward collected the loose ball beyond the arc and launched from 41 feet out. The ball kissed off the glass and dropped through as time expired, sending the Little Caesars Arena crowd of 19,899 into a frenzy and punctuating Detroit's dominant performance. Thompson finished with 9 points on 4-of-5 shooting in the Pistons' historic 130-77 victory on February 1, 2026.
