The Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers are primed for a marquee clash on Wednesday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, with both teams riding momentum-shifting winning streaks. The game not only pits two of the NBA’s hottest squads against each other but also raises the stakes as each side looks to extend their respective dominance.
