Thompson netted nine points (2-5 FG, 5-6 FT) and hauled in 12 rebounds over 30 minutes during Thursday’s 108-89 victory over the Raptors in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals series.

The five-year veteran now has double-digit boards in three of the last four games, and in five postseason contests overall. As customary, Thompson is primarily looked to 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 to date in the playoffs.
