Notes, quotes and observations after the Washington Wizards defeated the Cavaliers 127-115 Saturday night at Quicken Loans Arena.
1. Foes have found the way to beat the Cavaliers – run. Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said he sees opposing coaches waving at their teams to get moving.
2. It certainly makes sense. Seven players on the Cavs’ roster have double-digit years in the league. LeBron James is 32 and must pace himself during the regular season since his 199 career playoff games have added 2.7 years to his career, according to ESPN.com.
3. Opponents have had the edge in fast break points in six of the Cavs’ last nine losses, but only twice would the point differential have enabled the Cavs to tie or win the game.
