Without Derrick Rose, JR Smith, Tristan Thompson, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, this meeting between Wizards and Cavaliers has lost a lot of interest. Tyronn Lue and Scott Brooks had a lot of turns, and Washington ended up winning (102-94) after having very little use of its usual holders.
For both coaches, it was indeed an opportunity to test the rotations. Although launched by Bradley Beal and company, the Wizards had thus taken off in the first quarter but the bench of Washington has resumed its bad habits of last season. After a five-minute period without scoring, they let the Cavaliers pass in front, while Jeff Green chained the dunks. Despite the electric battery Kay Felder (12 points, 11 assists), Cleveland could not keep his hands on the encounter. With 12 points in the third quarter, Kelly Oubre Jr. showed on his side that he would probably have an important role to play in the absence of Markieff Morris, while Jodie Meeks signed a pretty 3/4 away .
On the Cavaliers side, Cedi Osman showed his versatility (6 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds) with some nice offerings while Ante Zizic (7 points, 7 rebounds, 5 lost balls) was pretty much jostled under the circle.
