Wizards lose to the Cavs, 114-105, despite Jordan Poole’s season-high 31 points. A 60-48 edge in PITP was huge for Cleveland.
Wizards stay home to host the Warriors on Tuesday. – 8:25 PM

You’re not going to win em all, and Indiana shot it great. But Mavs were their own worst enemies with some very loose passing and some very poor shot selection. That won’t fly vs a poor defensive team let alone a good one like CLE on Tue night – 8:04 PM

These are the first Donovan Mitchell minutes without Jarrett Allen tonight — and it seems to be a result of Mitchell getting into foul trouble & exiting earlier than planned in third quarter. #Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff had been matching Mitchell/Allen and DG/Mobley before that – 7:53 PM

Jordan Poole has 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3PT), 6 reb and 3 ast at halftime, all in 16 minutes. The best example yet of what the Wizards are hoping to see by putting him on the bench. – 7:07 PM

Washington has 3 turnovers and for whatever reason all have seemed especially untimely, but Irving has almost single-handedly pulled Dallas within 104-100 by scoring all 9 of the Mavericks’ 4th-quarter points. – 6:54 PM
