After Action Report
The Cavaliers outlasted the Wizards 103-94. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
