Recap: Washington 127, Cleveland 115 (or, Heavy Lies the Crown)

Energy, tactics, age, and defensive talent tipped the scales to the side of the Washington Wizards Saturday as they defeated the Cavs at home, Saturday. Try as they might, Cleveland could not stop John Wall, Bradley Beal, and Co. as Washington dropped 71 freaking points in the first half, and the Cavs could never close the gap in the secon. Cleveland cut the deficit to three towards the end of the third, and four midway through the fourth, but for every Cavalier charge, the Wizards answered with a flurry of buckets. In the end, the King resorted to just throwing prayers at the basket in frustration as the Wizards pulled away.
