Friday night’s win over the Washington Wizards on Friday night was a good one for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Not only did they snap Washington’s brief winning streak, but they also earned their second victory in a row and had multiple players scoring a lot.
According to Cavs Notes, the Cavaliers scored 134 points, which extended their franchise single-season record to 14 games with 130+ points.
Their previous record for 130+ point games in a single season was only five in 2016-17 and 2017-18.

If this isn’t a testament to Cleveland’s strong offensive power, nothing is.
Scoring more than 130 points is always difficult, even if it’s against a team like the Wizards.
They started the season working on this record and their first game of the year, against the Toronto Raptors, had them scoring 136 points.
Just a few days later, they were at it again when they beat the Wizards 135-116.
Right away, fans got the sense that this Cavaliers team was different and they have been proving it ever since.
They have had 130-point games against some tough teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, and more.
That means their win over the Wizards wasn’t some fluke – the Cavaliers can really score.
Of course, winning a game isn’t just about offense but Cleveland has strong defense too.
In fact, their backcourt pairing of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley has never looked better.
On Friday night, Allen posted 12 points and 12 rebounds while Mobley did 27 points and seven rebounds.
The Cavaliers might be scoring more than they ever have but that isn’t the only key to their success.
They are a powerful and well-rounded team and Friday night’s win showed that.
