MADRID (ACB) - Kevin Thompson won the award for the leading player in this weekend’s round of ACB matches after helping Polaris World CB Murcia beat Caja San Fernando 89-81.
Thompson recorded a double-double with 17 points and 17 rebounds to lead mid-table Murcia to their 10th win in 22 games his season.
The much-travelled American center has now won the ACB player of the week award on four occasions since moving to Spain four years ago.
The Murcia-Caja San Fernando match also produced the best domestic player of the week, with that award going to Caja point guard Carles Marco.
Marco poured in a team-high 19 points - including four of six from three-point range - as well as grabbing two rebounds and handing out five assists.
