Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Manages near double-double in Game 2 victory

Thompson netted nine points (2-5 FG, 5-6 FT) and hauled in 12 rebounds to go with a blocked shot across 30 minutes during Thursday's 108-89 victory over the Raptors in Game 2 of the series.

Analysis:

Thompson now has double-digit boards in three of the last four games, and in five postseason contests overall. As is customary, Thompson is primarily valued for his rebounding prowess, with any scoring he provides essentially a bonus considering how well teammates Kyrie Irving, LeBron James and Kevin Love are playing thus far in the playoffs.
