After Action Report
The Wizards pulled away from the Cavaliers 120-102. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
