A shuffling Oklahoma City Thunder unit lost on the road to the Cleveland Cavaliers, 107-91.
Oklahoma City’s setback to Cleveland almost played out as a tale of two halves. The Thunder fought on even terms with the defending champions prior to the floodgates erupting with 2:34 remaining before intermission.
Following a 43-43 gridlock, Cleveland outscored OKC 64-48 until the final horn mercifully blared.
Russell Westbrook tallied triple-double #24 with 20 points, ten rebounds, and twelve assists. However, the All-Star reserve shot just 7-of-26 overall.
Unfortunately, after an auspicious beginning, the Thunder offered a meager 37/23/68 split opposite Cleveland’s benign defense.
