"I dare a mother---ker spit on me. I’ll follow you right to your house," Thompson declared.
Thompson, who is in his first season with the Celtics after spending nine years with the Cleveland Cavaliers, will be hoping to get Boston back on track. He is averaging 9.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in the series.
The NBA dealt with an avalanche of fan incidents from Wednesday night’s slate of playoff games.
A total of five fans were banned from arenas due to inappropriate behavior. Supporters of the Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks and Utah Jazz were culprits of wild behavior.
A 76ers fan tossed popcorn on Washington Wizards star Russell Westbrook, a Knicks fan spit on Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young and three Jazz fans inappropriately taunted the family of Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant.
