With only 13 games to play in the 2020-21 season, the Wine & Gold are facing the red-hot Wizards for the first time – traveling to D.C. for the first of three meetings between now and the end of the year.
After getting back on the right track with a blowout win over the Bulls at home on Wednesday night, the Cavaliers dropped a close decision on Friday night in Charlotte, with the Hornets taking the lead in the fourth quarter, holding off a Cleveland rally and pulling away late to avoid the season sweep. Three Hornets starters tallied 25 points apiece and the Cavs got big games from their starting backcourt.
