In a highly anticipated game between two of the NBA's top teams, the Oklahoma City Thunder secured a commanding 134-114 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the charge with an impressive 40-point performance, reaching this milestone by the end of the third quarter before resting in the fourth. Luguentz Dort contributed a season-high 22 points and played a pivotal role in limiting Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell to just eight points.
The Thunder's defense was instrumental, initiating a 22-2 run in the first quarter and extending it to 30-2 in the second, effectively setting the tone for the game. Despite the absence of key big men Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein, Oklahoma City showcased depth and resilience. Darius Garland was the leading scorer for the Cavaliers with 20 points. This defeat marked only the second loss for Cleveland in their last 15 games, while the Thunder celebrated their fourth consecutive win and 14th in the past 15 games.
