Cavs Return Home with Date vs. Thunder
The Cleveland Cavaliers play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Saturday.

The Cavaliers (27-19) return home after losing 117-104 at Chicago on Wednesday to snap a five-game winning steak. They will look to bounce back against the Thunder, whom they beat just a week ago in the midst of a nine-day road trip that saw them win six of seven. Cleveland had to rally in that one, however, overcoming an 18-point deficit for a 107-102 victory at OKC. Darius Garland posted 27 points and a career-high 18 assists, and Lauri Markkanen drained a three-pointer with a 11.4 seconds remaining for the final margin.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 21 points and seven assists. He's topped 20 points in five of his last six games, including three 30-point performances, but it hasn't meant much for the Thunder, who have one win in January, losers of nine of 10.

Oklahoma City (14-31) is playing the second of a back-to-back, hoping to salvage the final game of a four-game road trip after losing the first three. The last two were especially lop-sided as the Thunder lost by 22 points Wednesday at San Antonio and 23 points Friday at Charlotte, failing to top 100 points in either game.
