Grades: Thunder get struck by the new-look Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers might return to the NBA Finals after all. LeBron James celebrated his new teammates during their first game as a new unit in Boston. If the first two games together is any indicator, the Cavs truly did come out of the Trade Deadline as the big winner. Cleveland, their fans and LeBron can all be happy once again.

You could tell from the opening tip-off this was going to be a close game. Both teams appeared to be evenly matched with distinct mismatches on both end. Cleveland’s offense became powerful during the second quarter as they put up 33 in the frame.
