KD with a real nice 1st quarter after resting on Thursday night. He’s got 15 points, three rebounds and two assists already in 12 minutes. Looks refreshed after sitting against OKC. Nets just need to keep their foot on the gas in this one. – 8:07 PM
Royce Young @royceyoung
Filling in on the radio broadcast again tonight with Gideon Hamilton. Matt Pinto is sliding over to fill in for Chris Fisher on the TV side. Tune in to hear me say “oooooh” repeatedly after every neat Josh Giddey pass. – 8:03 PM

Derrick Favors on trade talk: “I think every year I’ve been in the league, my name’s been in trade rumors … I’m pretty much used to it. I don’t really pay attention to it. I try to control what I can control. I try to, like coach says, keep my feet grounded where I’m at.” – 7:49 PM

After a strong win over the Nets on Thursday where OKC recorded season highs in multiple offensive categories, the Thunder will look to continue its stretch of strong offensive execution against the Cavs.
