Cavs versus Thunder was an instant classic, the Greek Freak went up against the Alien, and on top of that we got a wild finish in Philadelphia, but let’s start with the best 2 teams in the NBA.
Cleveland’s number 1 offense really put the OKC’s number 1 defense on a test early on.
Coincidentally, the Thunder rank 8th in offense, while the Cavs have the 8th best defense. We’re talking about two evenly matched teams, you get the point. (Dort 3KA 9:56 filer)
The top guns on both teams started the game slow, with Shai still finding some ways to get to his points, but Mitchell was simply struggling…
We gotta give credit to Lu Dort for being all up in his grill on these possessions. Donovan missed his first 7 attempts, and was held to only 2 made free throws. On the contrary, his substitution Ty Jerome worked his minutes to perfection.
Jerome was huge off the bench, but the main reason for Cleveland’s success in this game were the twin towers. Mobley and Allen. Their efficiency was impeccable. 46 points combined on 71% from the field. And Spida’s first points came at the right moment because…
So, with a close game at halftime, both teams went off in the 3rd quarter. Especially Shai who picked up the slack after shooting 7 of 18 in the 1st half.
And Isaiah Hartenstein hasn’t missed a single left handed floater, ever.
Hartenstein was out there battling against the 2 towers himself, imagine when Chet comes back how scary of a team Oklahoma will be.
The Cavs as well have a well rounded squad, and late in the 3rd quarter, Max Strus and Caris Levert proved that by hitting 4 straight 3’s from the left corner alone.
Cleveland’s bench outscored the OKC reserves 43 to 26 in this game. So in the 4th it was still anybody’s game when J Dub evoked some oohs and aahs from the crowd.
And with this layup by Strus on the other end, we marked 30 lead changes so far. That number will remain the same because…
Ty with 2 steals and 4 points in 2 consecutive possessions, giving the Cavs a 7 point lead, their biggest of the night.
And he wasn’t done yet…
Jerome scored 8 of his 15 points in the final period on near perfect shooting in just 12 minutes. Phenomenal. Alexander was able to respond on the other end with a tough fadeaway jumper, but what happened next would blow the roof of the arena.
So, what does Shai do to respond? He goes 1 on 5.
Then, Cleveland turns to their bread and butter, the big men connection.
Despite having a slight lead for most of the 4th quarter, the Cavs couldn’t pull away because this guy got the ball around the paint, and you already know it.
A monster, 18 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists game for Hartenstein, but still Evan Mobley won the battle.
Wow what a crucial bucket as he goes mano i mano for the tough layup to give his team a 5 point lead, and Darius Garland will put the icing on the cake…
The Thunder streak ended in Cleveland as we witnessed a real finals game in mid January.
And Kenny Atkinson said it himself.
Next, we have a couple of serious competitors putting up a show every time they face each other.
This time, Giannis took it personally and made sure to let Wemby know that he’s far away from his level.
Antetokounmpo was a beast last night, going through Victor’s chest anytime he wanted. He posted 25 pts, 16 reb and 8 assists while playing extraordinary defense as well. Look at him completely shutting down Wemby on this possession.
And then, the block of the night on Vassell.
Oh my goodness, just when Devin thought he had this one in the bag, Giannis meets him at the apex for the rejection. A wire to wire dominant win by the Bucks, continuing to climb up the standings.
In Philly, the Sixers played another game without PG and Joel, but had control over the game against the Wizards, because well, it’s the Wizards…
All jokes aside, it was Tyrese Maxey with 29 and Guerschon Yabusele with 21 points on 5 of 7 shooting from downtown in this one.
So with Washington turning the ball over 16 times, the Sixers had a 15 point lead early in the 4th, but then something totally unexpected started unfolding.
Jarred Butler and Corey Kispert went nuts, scoring 18 points in 6 minutes combined, bringing Washington all the way back in the game, and they even took the lead on this play. These two had more points off the bench than the entire starting 5 of their team.
Luckily for the home fans, Eric Gordon is a guy who can knock down a big 3 when needed.
However, this made the entire building mad…
Wooow, Kuzma travels first, but then double dribbles as well on his way to the basket without a single ref blowing anything at all. You hear the boos alright…
And Jarred Butler had a chance of becoming a hero, but misses the tough layup and the punishment arrives at the other end…
Still, the Wizards can tie the game or even take the lead at the end…
