@DarnellMayberry 7:15 p.m. Jackson made the right play, but he threw a bounce pass at Collison's feet. Got to bounce it higher so he can catch it.

@DarnellMayberry 7:18 p.m. Great ball movement by OKC tonight.

@DarnellMayberry 7:19 p.m. @KevKingSports Yup. What's up.

@DarnellMayberry 7:20 p.m. @OKCsportsGUY Or patience.

@DarnellMayberry 7:22 p.m. @gotkatzy Was. Westbrook just came back. It's him, K-Mart, KD, Collison and Perk.

@DarnellMayberry 7:24 p.m. Thunder starting to rack up offensive rebounds here in the second quarter.

@DarnellMayberry 7:26 p.m. Cavs fan behind me calling Kyrie Irving "Uncle Drew."

@DarnellMayberry 7:28 p.m. Meanwhile, "Uncle Drew" looks like he doesn't give a you know what tonight.

@DarnellMayberry 7:29 p.m. Durant is 5-for-8 from the foul line tonight. That's like Dwight Howard numbers for Durant.

@DarnellMayberry 7:31 p.m. I think "Uncle Drew" is waking up...

@DarnellMayberry 7:33 p.m. Kendrick Perkins with a filthy, NASTY block on Speights!

@DarnellMayberry 7:34 p.m. @yukonyankee After. He made up for it with that rejection.

@DarnellMayberry 7:37 p.m. Brooks going with KD as the point guard for the final 1:25 of the first half after Westbrook was called for his third foul.

@DarnellMayberry 7:38 p.m. Brooks replaced Westbrook with Kevin Martin. So it's KD, K-Mart, Thabo, Ibaka and Collison.

@DarnellMayberry 7:40 p.m. At halftime, the Thunder leads the Cavs 57-52. Kevin Durant leads all scorers with 15 points. Westbrook has 11. Ibaka with 10 and six.

@okcthunder 7:47 p.m. Halftime in Cleveland. #Thunder on top of #Cavs 57-52. Kevin Durant 15p, 7r. Westbrook and Ibaka also in dbl-figs. #FoxSportsOKlahoma

@DarnellMayberry 8:13 p.m. Kevin Durant has just had to leave the game with 4:07 remaining in the third quarter against the Cavs due to an apparent injury.

@DarnellMayberry 8:17 p.m. Durant has returned to the bench with 1:04 remaining in the third. He's clutching the right side of his midsection.

@DarnellMayberry 8:19 p.m. I guess we now know Serge needs to stick to the corner 3-ball.

@DarnellMayberry 8:20 p.m. After three, the Thunder leads the Cavs 78-72. OKC got up by as many as 11 in the third quarter but can't pull away.

@DarnellMayberry 8:20 p.m. Official word on Durant is a right rib contusion. He has been cleared to return to the game (but is not starting the fourth quarter).

@DarnellMayberry 8:24 p.m. Durant has returned to the game.

@DarnellMayberry 8:26 p.m. Cleveland has outscored OKC 29-16 since the 7:05 mark of the third quarter and now leads 86-84 with 8:53 remaining.

@okcthunder 8:26 p.m. Tight one in Cleveland. Early Q4, #Thunder and #Cavs tied at 81. Watch rest on @FSOklahoma! pic.twitter.com/aDQQFJcf

@DarnellMayberry 8:30 p.m. Marreese Speights has taken over this game, which sucks because that means I now have to spell Marreese Speights' name right.

@DarnellMayberry 8:31 p.m. Speights has scored eight of the Cavs' last 11 points and Cleveland now leads 92-84.

@DarnellMayberry 8:36 p.m. Thunder get it right back to two at 94-92 after a free throw by KD, a 3 by K-Mart and a jumper by KD. 5:48 left to play.

@okcthunder 8:39 p.m. Down by 8, Thunder scraps back into it. Durant hits a 3 and Thunder leads 99-97 w/ 3:52 left.

@DarnellMayberry 8:42 p.m. Cavs 104, Thunder 101 with 2:31 left to play. #JustGetToaTVAlert

@DarnellMayberry 8:47 p.m. Uncle Drew is a bad man. My God! Cavs 113, Thunder 108 with 42.2. seconds remaining.

@DarnellMayberry 8:49 p.m. Kyrie Irving has scored or assisted on 17 of the Cavs' last 18 points.

@DarnellMayberry 8:52 p.m. @dailythunder @EyeAmTruth Who was better tonight? Kyrie or Russell? OK then.

@DarnellMayberry 8:53 p.m. Final score: Cavs 115, Thunder 110. Kyrie Irving erupts in the fourth quarter and finishes with a game-high 35 points.

@DarnellMayberry 8:54 p.m. Kyrie: "I just wanted 2 be aggressive. Eveybody came out and wanted to see the OKC Thunder. And we had to send them home with an L tonight."

@okcthunder 8:55 p.m. KD scores 32, Westbrook 28 but #Thunder can't hang on, losing to #Cavs 115-110. Coming home to play #Mavs Monday. @FSOklahoma postgame now.
