Analysis:
Thompson was caught around the ear by a Trevor Ariza knee early in the fourth quarter, and he left the game to receive stitches. However, he returned later in the period and finished with 20 points in 22 minutes. While Thompson is said to be clear of concussion symptoms, the All-Star will take it easy for a few days, as the Finals don't begin until next Thursday.
