ANALYSISThompson displayed his versatility in Game 7, coming one rebound shy of a double-double. The defensive-minded guard was one of three players to score in double figures for the Rockets. However, it was nowhere near enough to hold off the offensive onslaught from Warriors stars
Buddy Hield and
Stephen Curry, who proved to be the difference in this series-clinching win while combining for 55 points.
