Kenny Atkinson calls the OKC Thunder win over the Cleveland Cavaliers “Total Domination.”
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points, Chet Holmgren added 28 and the Oklahoma City Thunder rolled to a 136-104 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday.
It is the 30th time in 42 games Gilgeous-Alexander has scored at least 30. The reigning NBA MVP is second in the league in scoring, averaging 31.8 points.
The Thunder — who improved to a league-best 36-8 — tied a season high with 23 3-pointers and made 48.9% from beyond the arc. Luguentz Dort made five 3’s and finished with 18 points, while Isaiah Joe (16 points) and Holmgren made four apiece.
It is Cleveland’s worst loss in a regular-season game in nearly two seasons since Kenny Atkinson became coach. The last time it lost by at least 30 was a 37-point defeat at Miami on March 24, 2024.
Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers with 19 points, while Jaylon Tyson had 16 points and 10 rebounds. | https://www.espn.com/nba/recap/_/gameId/401809248

Kenny your lineup sucks You start the game with no point guard dummy ! You just don’t get it you keep doing the same thing over again. Definition insanity !! DM is not a point guard. Get Mike Malone in here.
Or you have two or three point guards at one time!!
Fire this bum
Cavs are Not coming out of the East. The team will need to prove me wrong. This Cavs team is Not winning a Title the way it's currently structured. Best of luck Cavs that's all I can say at this point of the season. 🏀
He's not good coach he's throwing his team under the bus
This guard lineup is stupid there non athletic team not all the players ball needs to come in with shooting off guard not this 3 guard lineup up shit bigs get no action or they just weak
Sounds like he's drunk
Dan Gilbert's coaching pick right here 😂 I like Dan but
Go with what worked! Never start a player coming back off injury. He shoukd of started Craig over Dean. 19 assist today vs 45 last game. That was the difference. Kennny do better.
Depending on a 6'4 non athletic guard to bail you out
They should hv a 3 hour practice right now
He wont be here much longer
2nd apron for this
Last 2 games vs thunder cavs hv lost by 30 plus
Cavs are Softer than Organic Butter 🧈 😳…. OKC Put BELT TO Ass 😮
Chet Holmgren Dominates Evan Mobley Every Time
It’s obvious the Cavs aren’t winning a championship with this group. Believe Mobley would bring a lot. Teams are mesmerized with his potential but the kid doesn’t have the killer instinct to be great. Trade him if possible!
Second apron team wearing aprons!
Wtf!!! Why you laughing KA! Just a nice guy, but is a players coach just like STUPID-Anski was -no 🔥 That’s why the culture BLOWS!
How’s JB doing in Detroit with less talent?????
