NBA Note - Cleveland Cavaliers Thompson, Tristan

Dec 13, 2017 - 9:27 AM C Tristan Thompson, playing for the first time since Nov. 1 because of a strained left calf, played six minutes -- all in the first quarter. He didn't score or grab a rebound, and was not on the bench for the second half. Lue said before the game that Thompson's minutes would be restricted. "We wanted to give him a six- or seven-minute burn in that first quarter," Lue said. "Then in the second half it was already the game plan that he wasn't playing in the second half. Wasn't able to work him back in in that second quarter."
