The Cleveland Cavaliers no longer have the best record in the NBA after their loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The two teams met once again on Thursday night, but the final result was nothing like it was a week ago. The Thunder convincingly won the game, 134-114.The final score doesn't do the Thunder's dominance justice. Oklahoma's offense was firing on all cylinders, and their biggest lead climbed to 42 points.
However, the Cavaliers' loose attitude crept into the opening quarter of this game as the Thunder ramped up the intensity, with Cleveland having no true answers. This can be seen in the turnover discrepancy between the two sides. The Cavaliers have done a solid job at protecting the ball this season, while grabbing their fair share of steals too. But that wasn't the case against the Thunder.This was the difference maker in the game, fueling Oklahoma's 30-2 run in the first half. The Thunder scored 30 points in total off Cavalier miscues.
