The Oklahoma City Thunder escaped with a 108-105 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.

After trailing by nine points with a little under two minutes left, the Thunder mounted a comeback with a 15-3 run to get the impressive road win.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was superb as he finished with 34 points, 11 rebounds, five steals and four assists. Chet Holmgren had 16 points, 13 rebounds and a rookie franchise-record seven blocks. Lu Dort scored 25 points.

Meanwhile, Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers with 43 points on 15-of-27 shooting. Without Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley contributed with 14 points and 15 rebounds.

Let’s look at some of the best photos from the Thunder’s three-point win over the Cavaliers
