After Action Report
The Cavaliers upended the Wizards 102-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
