Cavaliers big man Tristan Thompson was on the wrong end of a highlight with journeyman Louis Amundson on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.
Nearing the end of the third quarter, Amundson came out of nowhere to cleanly block Thompson’s wide-open dunk attempt.
After the game, Thompson, frustrated with his 4-point effort on 1-4 shooting, threw what seemed like shade at the Knicks forward.

It wasn’t Thompson’s proudest comment, one that easily could have been a misconstrued joke aimed at a former teammate.
Regardless of the intent, Thompson took to twitter to apologize to Amundson.
I apologize @LouAmundson17 My frustration on last night's game got to me. I'm better than that and we're better than that. #BeProfessional

Amundson has yet to respond, but it’s safe to assume the issue is now water under the bridge.
