Very impressed with the way the Cavs rallied after losing a big lead. The Thunder tied the game at the 7:05 mark of the 4th and it looked like another choke was coming but the Cavs responded with a 15-4 run to put the game away. Just the opposite of last night.
Mobley and Stevens hit huge 3-pointers during that run - these are not the guys you want taking them but they came through in clutch time. Both of them had very good games. Stevens with 10 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, and a game high +15 was impressive. I like his mid-range jumper. They had Stevens guarding SGA when he was on the floor and he managed to keep SGA reasonably contained.
Mobley was 21/12 and Allen 21/11, which is what you want to see out of them every night. Allen had 21 points on only 9 shots but he needs to shoot free throws better. Mobley had 12 points in the 4th quarter when the game was on the line.
Garland had six more turnovers and was 3-for-9 from the field, but he did dish out 8 assists. He's still struggling.
I like that seven-footer on the Thunder - Pokusevski. He's long, active, and athletic. He finished with 16 points, 14 boards, 5 assists, and 3 blocks. He was 3-for-3 from deep. He really helped them stay in the game on a night when we did a great job on SGA, holding him to 23 points.
The Cavs' defense was pretty good except for a stretch early in the 4th where the Thunder hit four 3's in a row, mostly uncontested from the corner. The Cavs held the 6th highest scoring team to 102, so that was a solid night on defense.
The offense was just good enough. Everybody chipped in - Okoro had a couple of big 3's. Like another poster said - when Mobley, Stevens, and Okoro are hitting 3's, even if it's just a couple, it really helps a lot.
