The Wizards blew the doors off the Cavaliers 140-101. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
