Cavs: The Blog · Dec 9, 2018
Recap: Cleveland 116, Washington 101 (Or, Layups and Three Pointers)
When I put up the Live Thread for this game I was quite optimistic. After all, the Cavs had been less than 24 hours away from trading for one of my all-time favorite Cavaliers in Matthew Dellavedova. By now, this isn’t news. But more than the trade, I just sort of had an optimistic feeling waiting for the game to begin. And boy was I not disappointed. Not only did Cleveland avenge an ugly early season loss against the Wiz but they did so in spectacular fashion, jumping out to a big lead right away. De facto team leader and rookie Collin Sexton would not relinquish that lead and would end with a 116-101 Cavaliers victory.
