An intentional Amen Thompson puts together complete performance in Rockets' win over Warriors
Even if his time against Stephen Curry was limited, Amen Thompson still notched a defensive highlight in a complete performance as the Rockets sent the Warriors packing.
Amen Thompson delivered a comprehensive performance, contributing 19 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and a steal as the Rockets secured a 115-108 victory over the Golden State Warriors. Although coach Ime Udoka had set up a special plan to contain Curry, the superstar played only five minutes due to right abdominal soreness.
Thompson, however, made a significant impact defensively, blocking Curry's pump-fake to block a fast-break dunk by Kevin Durant. Thompson's offensive improvement was evident as he scored 17 points in the final two quarters, showcasing his ability to adapt to various matchups and find the right rhythm.
