The Wizards defeat The Cavs at Verizon Center

Wizards 101, Cavaliers 98

 

Two of The NBA’s top young Point Guard’s faced off tonight as John Wall’s Washington Wizards hosted Kyrie Irving’s Cleveland Cavilers.  The Wizards showed an outstanding team effort as they bested The Cavs 101-98.

Jordan Crawford scored 31 points for the Washington Wizards including 12 in the 4^th quarter. Wall did his part by contributing 24 points and 5 assists. This was enough to counter The Cavaliers who were led by Antawn Jamison’s 29 for Cleveland and Kyrie Irving added 20.

This was Jamison’s first game back in Washington after being traded by The Wizards in 2010. The Wizards showed a new found ability to close a team out, something that they have failed to do in the past.
