Cavs fall to Thunder again as reliance on Harden shows

Foi um primeiro quarto desleixado que afundou o Cleveland Cavaliers na derrota por 124 a 116 para o Oklahoma City — a quinta seguida contra o Thunder.

Cleveland foi superado por 37 a 20 no período inicial e depois superou o OKC em cada um dos três quartos seguintes, o que importou pouco. “Decepcionado com o nosso primeiro quarto. Três quartos de jogo realmente sólido, e você tem um quarto em que não está à altura”, disse o técnico. “As perdas de bola, as perdas de bola com a bola viva, elas simplesmente fazem o outro time engrenar e, sabe, isso vira uma bola de neve.”

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander marcou mais de 40 pontos contra os Cavs pela segunda vez nesta semana. Ajay Mitchell acrescentou 27 pontos, com 10 de 17 arremessos, seis assistências, três rebotes e um roubo de bola — embora apenas seis desses pontos tenham saído no primeiro tempo, em que Cleveland marcou 44, e 14 tenham chegado no último quarto, depois de o jogo estar decidido.

Thomas cometeu falta eliminatoria em 18 minutos, com nove pontos. Hezonja teve 12 pontos, com 5 de 10 arremessos, e oito rebotes. Com Jarrett Allen lesionado, Enaruna teve seus primeiros minutos na rotação; Proctor se segurou bem em sua segunda partida como titular na carreira.

Cleveland deu apenas 20 de seus 93 arremessos perto do aro, e o ataque se apoiou em uma explosão de Harden — 16 pontos marcados ou assistidos durante uma corrida de 18 a 3 no início do terceiro quarto. A temporada dos Cavs depende do jogador de 37 anos, que registra a pior taxa de lances livres da carreira.
