The Washington Wizards lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, 118-87. Oh, it was an NBA Cup game.
The Cavs seem to like to pound the Wizards. Last season, they beat the Wizards 140-101 in memorable trip to Cleveland. The Wizards may have forgotten since accumulating after another 50 losses since that January 2024 game... and so they came into this one with zero energy, just like that game last season.
It was garbage time essentially from the end of the first quarter, when the Cavaliers led 35-20 coming out of the gates with just enough energy to take seriously the fundamentally flawed Wizards.
