After Action Report

The Cavaliers handled the Wizards 106-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
