Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Kicks off Finals with double-double

Thompson supplied 10 points (5-11 FG), 12 rebounds and a block over 31 minutes during Thursday's 104-89 loss to the Warriors in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Analysis:

The 25-year-old provided his most productive performance of the postseason, reaching double-digit scoring for the first time in the playoffs. Thompson was also typically active on the boards, posting his seventh double-digit rebound performance of the postseason overall. The big man may be asked to continue to do more on offense throughout the series, in an effort to keep up with the Warriors' relentless attack.
