Matthew Dellavedova hit a tying three-pointer for the Cavs with 1 minute, 13 seconds left before Thompson made it 96-94 on a layup. Thompson then blocked a shot by George Hill with 18 seconds left.
Bucks 128, Rockets 121 - Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded his second career triple-double of 18 points, 17 rebounds, and 11 assists, Jabari Parker scored a career-high 36 points, and host Milwaukee beat Houston.
Celtics 100, Jazz 95 - Jae Crowder had 22 points, and Boston extended its home win streak to 11 with a victory over Utah.
