The Cavs had double-digit scorers up and down the roster.
Donovan Mitchell led the team with 33 points and five assists, while Evan Mobley was behind him with 27 points and seven rebounds.
Meanwhile, Darius Garland put up 23 points, Max Strus scored 17, Ty Jerome posted 13, and Jarrett Allen earned 12 points and 12 rebounds.
It was an all-around effort once again from the Cavaliers and they walked away feeling very happy.
They have now won two games in a row once again and will face the Minnesota Timberwolves, Toronto Raptors, Brooklyn Nets, and New York Knicks this week.
They are hoping to put together another string of wins and be in even better shape right as De’Andre Hunter joins them.
Fans are really excited to see what Hunter can do for the team and they think he could help them create a few more long winning streaks in the weeks ahead.
Their win over the Wizards was supposed to be an easy one.
Now that it’s behind them, the Cavaliers are moving forward into the second half of the season.
