On Thursday night in Oklahoma City, both young squads were almost unstoppable in the first half. The Cavaliers stayed that way after intermission; OKC came back down to earth.
The Wine & Gold finished their recent mini-trip at 2-1 following an impressive 129-102 thumping of the Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena – their second straight one-sided win to complete a stretch of seven of eight on the road.
The Thunder are the league’s youngest team, and they were banged up on top of that. But they came out ready to play, putting up 61 points in the first half.
