This was great. That scoring runs chart was pretty interesting -- unsurprising to see where OKC is. That defense man, they just put you in a chokehold, force turnovers, and fuel their offense. It was also rare to see a team do it to them when the Cavs switched to zone against them last week (although I don't remember if it was a 10-0 run)
'The Cleveland Cavaliers go on so many scoring runs that their fans have started to call those runs “Cavalanches"'
The word 'Cavalanche' actually started back in the surprising 2021-22 campaign when the likes of Cedi Osman, Ricky Rubio, Kevin Love, rookie Mobley, All-Star Garland, Markkanen and Allen were the contributors. Check out the Cavalanches vs. Pacers at home and Kings at home, those are my personal favorites
My basketball knowledge is minimal - but I wonder if scoring runs should be defined at the shots made level rather (eg 5 consecutive field goals made) than points level (is it the points difference or repeated success that matters more?)

That was a great interview, very interesting stuff
