The Oklahoma City Thunder have been on an absolute tear, defeating the Nos. 3 and 2 teams in the Eastern Conference to extend their overall winning streak to a franchise-best 15 games. Next up for the Thunder is a monumental challenge as they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers, who hold the best record in the East and the NBA.
The Thunder boast an impressive 11-0 record against Eastern Conference foes, while the Cavaliers are undefeated at home with a 10-0 mark against Western Conference teams. Both teams are riding high on winning streaks, with the Thunder at 15 straight victories and the Cavaliers at 10.
Oklahoma City head coach Mark Daigneault has shown unwavering faith in his team, especially after their recent victories over the New York Knicks and the reigning NBA champion Boston Celtics.

His averages of 31.3 points, 6.1 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.1 blocks make him a formidable force.
