After Action Report

The Wizards fended off the Cavaliers 110-102. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
