After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards pulled away from the Cavaliers 123-111. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
