After Action Report
The Wizards pulled away from the Cavaliers 130-115. Wizards controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Wizards' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
