Most improbable, impressive win of the season. I know the Cavs were on the second night of a back-to-back and the game was in OKC, but given the current state of this team and how they've played lately, I expected comfortable Cavs win.

I opted for UNC/Duke, so I didn't watch most of this one, but at least we will, at the very least, split the Cavs-Warriors two game stretch.

I felt miserable today, fell asleep on my couch at halftime. Woke up and they're up 8 and apparently Phily won on a buzzer beater I missed. I'm voting Cam for the first half because nobody can stop me.

Crazy boxscore:

Free Throws: 10/13
Three Pointers: 8/27
Field Goals: 50/106

Only made 10 FTs and only eight 3s and we still scored 118 points.

I'm seriously impressed by Payne this game. Too bad he won't sustain it probably. Eh oh well, I'll keep the CamPayne avatars

Also feels like the second night of a back to back was kinda negated by how one sided the officiating was.

Cam, please PLEASE follow up on this. He actually shot the ball and got inside the three point line. I don't care if you miss ten shots, at least look to get them.

I would have liked to vote for Cam, but Adams gave 110% and manhandled the Cavs bigs!

Also voted cam. Other guys had better overall games, but without his first half we would've went into the locker room with a 10 point deficit and it likely snowballs from there.

Good win. Pretty much everybody stepped up at some point.

I appreciate Cam actually trying to get to the rim. Took a little contact. Hit well from outside, but he had one nice one through 2 guys which he's going to have to hit.

Robes deserves some major love as well. Donovan crossmatched him with LeBron so Robes played 41 minutes, guarded LeBron the entire time besides switches, and held bron to 18 points 7 assists and 3 turnovers on 42% shooting in 40 minutes. That's doing a great day of work.

Agreed, but right now I'm even fine with him missing, attacking off the dribble is something he HAS to do and Memphis was the first time this year he's looked to do it. Tonight he did it plus hit some shots. He's sucking me back in, but I really think confidence is the biggest thing holding him back.

Good win. Cams gotta bring it Saturday.

Seems like I picked one hell of a game to miss. Was Cleveland even trying or did we actually play well?

I fell asleep at half but from reading/highlights/rewatching some, played that well. They were on a b2b, but still a great win.

You should have never changed the campayne avatar. I'm sorry I teased people about it, maybe he still has some chance to win it this year?

Cleveland didn't play their best but we had multiple opportunities to collapse. Our guys made lots of big plays. Definitely our best team win this year. Westbrook played well but didn't have to do everything himself.

Payne definitely made a huge difference last night. Not sure why Donovan didn't let him play a few minutes with Westbrook in the second quarter, he was on fire.

Adams's offensive rebounding has been ridiculous lately. He is on streak of 4 games of at least 7 offensive boards and also in each of these games he's had at least 5 offensive boards more than defensive ones which must be a pretty rare statline.

Roberson's defense was beautiful.
