The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road, 148-124. In an offensive waterfall that seems a distant solar system away from such offensive struggles in the past, OKC jumped on the Eastern Conference champs early and often, leading 43-24 after a quarter and 76-60 at halftime. It confirmed once again that when the light switch is ON, OKC is a formidable opponent.
Most importantly, with the ghastly 3rd quarter specter following them like a Scoobie Doo episode, the Thunder didn’t wilt even as their lead dropped to 12 with 2:12 remaining in the quarter.
