Rockets' Amen Thompson: Fills up stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Thompson finished Sunday's 103-89 loss to the Warriors in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 24 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes.
Thompson 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.

Thompson chipped in 14 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 115-107 win over the Warriors in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Thompson came three rebounds shy of a double-double in Friday's win. The defensive-minded guard has played a significant role for Houston during his second season in the league, as he continues to improve as a two-way threat. The 21-year-old is averaging 14.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 47.8 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from deep during the first-round series.

Thompson totaled 25 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, three assists, three blocks and five steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 131-116 victory over the Warriors in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Thompson logged at least five steals for the second time this season, making life difficult for Stephen Curry and the rest of the Warriors to bring the series to 3-2. Thompson's 25 points tied for his second-most in a game this year. The second-year wing is averaging 14.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per game during the first round.
Rockets' Amen Thompson: Just misses double-double in loss

Thompson finished with 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 109-106 loss to the Warriors in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After three lackluster scoring efforts to begin his first career playoff run, Thompson stepped up his production Monday. The second-year wing is averaging 11.8 points, 6.5 boards, 3.8 assists and 1.3 combined steals and blocks through four games, and the Rockets may need something special from the fourth overall pick in the 2023 Draft if they're going to avoid elimination in Game 5 on Wednesday.
Thompson notched 11 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and three assists in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 victory over Golden State in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Thompson has been one of the best all-around players for the Rockets during the 2024-25 campaign, but he struggled to have a significant impact in Game 2, finishing with a less-than-stellar stat line. The rising star usually makes his presence felt defensively, which didn't happen Wednesday. However, Houston was still able to come out on top ahead of the series shifting to San Francisco for the next two games.
