Lance Stephenson working on developing team qualities

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Lance Stephenson has revealed that he is working on his qualities as an all-round team player following their defeat of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night.

Stephenson stood out in the encounter as he produced his NBA-leading fifth triple-double of the season by notching 17 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds to put the Thunder to the sword.

"I just tried to be an all-around player, get people in the right spots, just being a team player," the shooting guard told reporters after the game.

"We had to get back to that and I felt like this was the game to do it."

The victory sees the Pacers closing in on top spot in the Western Conference, with a record of 55-26 for the season.
