Washington gave up 130 points, including 57 to LeBron James, as the Wizards fell at home for the second straight game Friday night. With the 130-122 loss, Washington is back at .500 after starting the season 3-0.
The game started off with both teams not understanding the meaning of defense, they combined for 78 first quarter points, led by 13 from Derrick Rose. He was aggressive going to the basket, making several acrobatic layups reminiscent of his early Chicago Bulls days.
Fortunately for the Wizards, the Cavaliers didn’t do much better providing resistance.
