Tristan Thompson has been bad in the NBA Finals, but he nearly became public enemy No. 1 in Clevleand during Wednesday's Game 3 against the Warriors.
In the middle of the first quarter, Thompson made the inexcusable mistake of letting his shoulder get in the way of LeBron James' face.

The result was LeBron going down to the floor, Cleveland fans holding their breath, and Thompson checking Quicken Loans Arena for the nearest emergency exit.
Luckily for Thompson, James walked to the bench under his own power and refused medical attention before returning to the game on the next possession.
