The Washington Wizards were able to hang around Wednesday but ultimately fell short in a 114-106 affair against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Capital One Arena.
The Wizards never trailed by more than five points in the first half. In fact, Washington led throughout the majority of the first two quarters thanks to hot shooting and strong early performances from Kyle Kuzma and Corey Kispert.
Kuzma led the Wiz with 18 points on 7/13 shooting, while Kispert added 13 points of his own. Both players combined for seven threes in the first half as Washington shot a scorching 10/22 from deep.
