CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Keep in mind that Cavs coach Tyronn Lue is sick right now.
Also remember that center Tristan Thompson has played in 428 consecutive games, spanning over four seasons, so he's probably pretty good at masking various aches and pains to stay on the court.
But something's off here. Lue said Thompson's been playing hurt this season. Thompson insists he hasn't. Let's explain.
After the Cavs beat Milwaukee 102-95 on Monday night, Lue was asked about Thompson's pivotal role in an 11-0 spurt in the fourth quarter that gave Cleveland the game.
