After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Wizards 144-72. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin; the Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
