Mike Brown has said that beating the Oklahoma City Thunder is a "good confidence booster" for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Central Division side secured a 114-104 win over the Western Conference leaders to end their three-game losing streak last night.
The coach told reporters: "Kyrie [Irving] had a huge performance for us. He was very efficient in the 43 minutes that he played tonight, I thought offensively, especially.
"To come here and get a win in this building versus this team and those players and that coaching staff, for us, is a good confidence booster. Everything for us right now to be a positive will help us long term just as much as it will short term."
The result leaves the Cavaliers with a 23-36 record, three wins off the playoffs places.
