The Wizards 92-86 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers was ugly. It wasn’t a bad loss, but it was aesthetically repugnant.
Washington was on the second half of a back-to-back, made even more challenging by losing in double overtime the previous night to the San Antonio Spurs back in DC.
Washington led by 9 with 5:50 left in the game, and then they ran out of gas. Cleveland finished things out with a 17-2 run. Yes, the Wizards managed just two points in the final stretch of the game.
Meanwhile, a spate of injuries to their backcourt had the Cavaliers trying to figure out how to run their offense without a competent point guard on the roster.
