Thunder cement status as NBA title favorite by destroying Cavaliers, and they still have room for improvement

OKC currently owns the highest point differential in NBA history
When the top two teams in the NBA square off, it's expected to be a marquee event. Suffice it to say, Thursday's matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers did not live up to the billing as OKC ran off to a 134-114 victory that wasn't nearly as close as even that lopsided score would indicate.
It was one game. In January. Barely a week ago, the Cavs defeated the Thunder on their home floor in one of the best regular-season games you will ever see. On paper, all the Thunder did was return the favor on their home floor.
It felt like more than that, but still, on its own, you can only read so much into this result. However, as the latest bullet point on Oklahoma City's 2024-25 resumé, it's the freshest reminder that the Thunder are absolutely ready to win a title right now, and should be considered the favorite to do so.
