On the last night of its road trip, the Thunder handed Cleveland its 10th consecutive loss after erasing the effects of a slow start. Thanks to the high-energy effort from the second unit and the impressive offensive performance of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder returns to OKC on a high note.
Against the paint-packing defensive efforts of Cleveland, the Thunder posted one of its most efficient scoring nights of the season with 117 points on just 79 shot attempts. It took the squad half of the first quarter to find its rhythm and generate consistent quality looks, but once it broke through it didn’t look back the rest of the night.
