All right, welcome on, everyone. One of the games of the year coming in, it was the 31 and 4 Cavaliers

versus the five loss, Thunder, both teams technically on pace for 70 wins coming in.

We'll get to Buck Spurs as well, but obviously not going to spend as much time on that one.

But just want to set the scene here a little bit.

whether that is an offensive rebound, whether that is like you get a mismatch in a short

moment, because both of these teams are so good at recovering, both of these teams defend,

and both these teams move the ball really well. I thought that the execution and the mentality
