After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers shocked the Wizards 124-113. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
