Wrap-Up -- Last week at The Q, the Wine & Gold nearly squandered a 25-point lead before holding off the Wizards late for the victory. On Friday night, Washington flipped the script.
After falling behind by 20 points in the first half, the Cavaliers spent the rest of the evening trying to rally their way back – cutting Washington’s lead to just three late in the third period before finally running out of gas in the fourth – falling, 119-106, at Capital One Arena to split the season series.
One day after the Trade Deadline, one-half of the duo Cleveland acquired on Thursday – Marquese Chriss – was impressive, finishing with 13 points and eight boards in 23 minutes off the bench.
