The Wizards picked up their third-straight win with a convincing 119-95 victory over the underwhelming and undermanned Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.
Last season, the Wizards had a tendency to play down to the opposition, especially early in the year when they lost winnable games to cellar-dwellers like the Suns and Mavericks. They didn’t let that happen in this one, as they faced the team with the worst record in the Eastern Conference on the second night of back-to-back games, while missing Kevin Love, George Hill, and Kyle Korver.
