The Wizards’ 2018 Summer League campaign got off to a slooooooooooow start in their 72-59 loss to the Cavaliers on Friday night. It was a slog for both squads, as they each shot under 36 percent from the field and combined for 46 turnovers in a 40 minute game.
In the end, Cleveland was able to win largely because they were able to get up more shots. They turned the ball over four fewer times than Washington, and won the rebounding battle 51-35. All the extra opportunities were too much for Washington to overcome, despite a 13 point, 4 rebound performance from Troy Brown in his Summer League debut, as well as 14 points and 5 rebounds from Devin Robinson.
