The superteams era is over. Deep rosters, versatile lineups and a relentless style of play are proving to be the best path to success.

In their win over the Thunder, the Cavs finally put to rest any remaining doubt, criticism, or concern about their status as a contender.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a game-high 31 points in the loss for the Thunder, who had a 15-game winning streak snapped with the loss. At 30–6, the Thunder still boast the second-best record in the NBA.
