CLEVELAND -- As much as the Thunder have struggled and stumbled through the first half of the season, one thing they've been consistent with is they get up to play the best teams, especially when the world is watching.
The tone was set from tipoff, and the Thunder really never took their foot off the gas, blasting by the Cavaliers 148-124 as their big three played their most complete game of the season. Paul George scored 36 on 12-of-19 shooting (5-of-11 from 3), Carmelo Anthony had 29 on 11-of-19 (plus 10 rebounds) and Russell Westbrook piled up 23 points, 9 rebounds and 20 assists.
