The Oklahoma City Thunder is set to face the Cavaliers in a highly anticipated rematch, but they'll be doing so without key players, including Chet Holmgren and now Hartenstein, who's out with a calf strain. As they rely on their small-ball approach, the Thunder will look to leverage their speed and agility to outmaneuver their opponents. With a focus on adaptive team defense and strategic offense, OKC aims to capitalize on their strengths and overcome their weaknesses in this crucial matchup, utilizing popular basketball strategies like the pick and roll and defensive switches to gain an edge.
