In front of a full-capacity crowd at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, the Cavaliers showcased their offensive might by maintaining a lead for over 41 minutes of gameplay. The team's scoring was consistently high throughout all quarters, contributing to their substantial victory margin. A significant factor in this dominance was their shooting accuracy; they achieved a field goal percentage of 54 and were particularly lethal from beyond the arc with an impressive three-point shooting rate of 48 percent.


The Cavaliers' bench made substantial contributions totaling 66 points, demonstrating depth and versatility within their roster. Their defensive efforts were equally notable as they amassed eight blocks and five steals over the course of the game. This defensive prowess limited the Wizards to just a 42 percent field goal success rate.


Rebounding was another area where Cleveland excelled; they outrebounded Washington by a considerable margin with a total rebound count of 71 compared to Washington's 45. The home team also capitalized on second-chance opportunities by converting them into an astounding number of points – totaling at least one-third more than what Washington managed.


Washington did have moments where they shone through – such as leading for approximately four minutes and achieving fast break points with reasonable efficiency – but these efforts were overshadowed by Cleveland's commanding performance. Despite trailing behind in several aspects, including assists where they recorded only twenty-two compared to Cleveland’s thirty-seven, it is worth noting that Washington fought valiantly until the end.


Looking ahead for fans of the Cavaliers: your next opportunity to support your team will be when they face off against the Washington Wizards once again on January 5th at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland. This upcoming contest is scheduled for a tip-off time at around half-past seven in the evening local time and can be viewed on BSOH channel number six hundred sixty or MNMT2 channel six hundred forty-two dash one depending on your location.
