Wrap-Up -- A furious late rally by the Wizards cost Cleveland the chance to enjoy a rare blowout win. But the Cavaliers will gladly still settle for their second straight victory.
The Cavs took a lead at the end of the first quarter and improved their advantage to 25 points early in the fourth before weathering a withering Wizards charge that saw them get to within three points at the final buzzer. Despite Washington’s late heroics, the Wine & Gold managed to win two straight for just the second time this season – taking the 116-113 decision on a frigid Tuesday night in Cleveland.
