After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Wizards 101-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
