Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson: Double-double in Saturday's win
Thompson scored 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-6 FT) while adding 12 rebounds and a steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 win over the Hornets.
Analysis:
It's just his sixth double-double of the season, but that's due to a lack of consistent scoring rather than a lack of action on the glass -- Thompson's averaging a career-best 10.3 boards per game so far in 2016-17. His point production and shot opportunities aren't likely to go up much as long as the Cavs' big three of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love remain healthy, however.
