Tonight, an NBA team’s double-digit win streak will come to an end.
The 31-4 Cleveland Cavaliers (10 straight wins) will host the 30-5 Oklahoma City Thunder (15 straight wins) in a battle of conference leaders, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Donovan Mitchell will go head-to-head for the first time this campaign.
For Celtics fans, the contest serves as a measuring stick. Which of these two juggernauts is ready to compete for the title?
Both have already defeated Boston this season. After the Celtics handed the Cavaliers their first loss of the season on November 19th, Cleveland responded by besting the Celtics, 115-111, on December 1st.
