Thomas, a Harrisburg native and former Central Dauphin standout, recorded the first triple-double in WNBA Finals history to lead her team to the win.
She finished with 16 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists to help keep the Sun, who were facing elimination, alive.
Connecticut Sun's Alyssa Thomas, left, looks to pass while Las Vegas Aces' A'ja Wilson defends during the first half in Game 3 of a WNBA basketball final playoff series, Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022, in Uncasville, Conn. The best-of-five series is now headed to Game 4, slated for 4 p.m. Sunday at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, with the Sun trailing, 2-1.
Thomas’ performance comes just a day after she was named All-WNBA second team. An eight-year veteran, Thomas came into the season recovering from a torn Achilles suffered last season. She still managed to make it to the All-Star game, and averaged 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
