It’s almost time for the Wizards to head home, but they’ll have a great opportunity to finish their road trip 2-1 before returning to D.C. After a tough outing in San Antonio, Washington (21-28) closes its three-game road stretch tonight in Cleveland against a Cavs team (10-41) that’s only won two of its last 20 games. Tonight’s matchup is the first half of another back-to-back for the Wizards that will culminate in a home meeting with the Pacers tomorrow night back at Capital One Arena.
