When it comes to explaining why Lakeview lost, one person who can't be blamed is Clayton Thomson. Despite the final result, he dropped a double-double on 17 points and ten rebounds. It was the first time this season that Thomson scored 15 or more points. The team also got some help courtesy of Levi Hrouda, who scored nine points along with two blocks.
