Since December 28, the Cavs have the best road record in the NBA at 10-2 (.833).

The Wine and Gold are 30-6 in their last 36 regular season games against Western Conference opponents (16-5 mark this season).

Cleveland improved to an Eastern Conference-best 39-14 on the season (23-4 at home) after a 106-95 win over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday at Quicken Loans Arena. The Cavs held the Bulls to 37-93 (.393) shooting from the field, which is the 12th time this season the Cavaliers have held their opponent to under .400 shooting (12-0).

The Cavaliers will need another solid performance on the defensive end against a high-powered Thunder attack.

Oklahoma City (40-15) enters Sunday's showdown winners of seven of their last nine despite falling to the Indiana Pacers, 101-98, on Friday night in OKC. The Thunder's dynamic duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 54 points, 11 rebounds and 21 assists.

On the season, both Durant (27.8 ppg, 3rd) and Westbrook (24.1 ppg, 7th) rank in the top 10 in scoring.
