9. Cleveland vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

While the Cavs had one of their largest margins of victory against Oklahoma City, they also had one of their closest games. It was Dec. 17, 2015 and the Cavs played the Thunder without Kyrie, Shumpert or Williams (who was out with a thumb injury). Fortunately, the Cavs players followed LeBron’s lead and, with balanced performances across the board, helped contribute to the win.

LeBron was the team’s high scorer with 33 points and he also added nine rebounds, 11 assists and two steals. Thompson was the next high scorer with 14 points, followed by Jefferson with 13 points. Love, Dellavadova and Smith each added 11 points and Love also had seven rebounds, five assists and two steals. Mozgov added six points and Cunningham added five points.

The Cavs squeaked out the win with a final score of 104-100.
