Fueled by a great game from Montrezl Harrell and scoring three-point shooting from Kyle Kuzma, the Wizards rallied from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 97-94 and push their record to 8-3.
The 2021-22 Wizards are now tied for the second best start in franchise history with the teams from 1968-69 and 2014-15. The 1974-75 Bullets hold top honors — they went 9-2 in their first 11 games.
Harrell was too much for Cavaliers big men Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley to handle, pouring in 24 points in 25 minutes on just 12 field goal attempts.
