Cleveland Cavaliers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 22, 2026

Cason Wallace's 20 points and 10 assists ignited Oklahoma City's balanced attack, propelling the Thunder past Cleveland 121–113 in a matchup that split the difference between explosive opening and defensive tightening. The combined total of 234 exceeded the 228.5 market line by 5.5 points, delivering an OVER result despite DAGGER's pregame UNDER call.

The first quarter set the tone for pace: OKC and Cleveland combined for 65 points, the game's highest-scoring frame, with the home Thunder establishing early control behind their bench depth. Isaiah Joe added 22 points for Oklahoma City, while Chet Holmgren anchored the glass with 15 rebounds and 17 points. Cleveland responded with scoring balance—Donovan Mitchell (20 pts, 7 reb, 5 ast), James Harden (20 pts, 5 reb, 9 ast), and Sam Merrill (20 pts, 3 reb) each reached 20—but the Cavaliers' 113-point output proved insufficient against the Thunder's diversified assault.

The second half belonged to the defenses. After a 119-point first half combined, the teams managed just 115 in the second, with Q2 dipping to 54 combined points and Q4 settling at 59. OKC's recent form—106.4 points allowed per game over the last ten—held firm despite Cleveland's typically prolific 122.9 scoring pace. The Thunder's eight-point margin reflected their depth: a January head-to-head meeting had seen these teams combine for 240 points; this encounter proved more constrained, yet still cleared the posted line.
