Last week, the two best teams in NBA, Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder, faced for the first time this season. Both teams now share the same record: 34 victories, 6 defeats, unmatched by anyone this season (Cavs lead the East Conference, Thunder the West Conference). But if the first match was as even as it can get, 129-122, the second round was clearly dominated by Thunder, 134-114.

The rematch had a clear protagonist: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, scoring 40 points and eight assists in three quarters, becoming the first player in Thunder's history to score 40 points in less than 30 minutes.

Thanks to that, Thunder had a huge 75-49 lead, followed by 119-81 in the third quarter, when Thunder scored 44, a season high. It was only in the fourth quarter (33-15) when Cavs was able to clean up the scoreboard a little.
