A tale of two halves once again.
Cleveland earns a 121-111 victory over the new and improved Wizards. The #Cavs trailed by as many as 13 early.
Peyton Watson's activity and scoring, Evan Mobley's 3-point shooting and Meleek Thomas not being a one-hit wonder were all keys.
April retweeted
Offensively, Peyton Watson is keeping the Cavs in this game. He's got 14 of 16 points in the second quarter. Cleveland has only scored 23 total in the period.
Defensively, it has been Jarrett Allen. Allen has two blocks in the quarter.
Other than them, this hasn't been pretty

Alex Sarr looks muchhhhhhh different than in his first two seasons in the NBA, in the best way possible. Good hoops thus far.
April retweeted
At the scorer's table for the Cavs: James Harden, Tyrese Proctor and Jarrett Allen.
They will replace Meleek Thomas, Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley.
April retweeted
I'm getting ready to say some egregious things about Evan Mobley's development from beyond the arc. He's already made 3 triples, and his 3-point percentage is currently better than at the free throw line for the season.
The leap, at least for his shot, may be here.
April retweeted
The Wizards are running their offense through No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa in his NBA debut because Harden has the initial matchup.
The rookie has nine points in the first six minutes against the #Cavs.

AJ Dybantsa's first #NBA points come by way of the charity stripe.
April retweeted
The #Cavs have spent years searching for a defensive wing that fits best in their starting lineup.
@JimmyWatkins95 believes that, through three games, Peyton Watson has shown a combination of skills that neither Isaac Okoro nor Dean Wade displayed in Cleveland. #letemknow

Meleek Thomas' #NBA debut may have shifted the #Cavs' hierarchy for backup-guard minutes.
@ChrisFedor weighs in on the organization's level of trust in Craig Porter Jr., who is in his fourth season in Cleveland yet has been passed over countless times. #letemknow
Stevie Wonder has seven songs on Song In The Key Of Life that are over six minutes long. That might be a record, IDK. As and Another Star are the first two that come to mind.

Ya’ll. I opened a harm reduction center and justice and healing hub(resource center).
And I’m thinking of snatching up another storefront and employing folks recently incarcerated or in recovery. I just don’t know what business model would be self sustaining for it. Im stuck.
April retweeted
Anthony Edwards just dropped 47 points on the Cavs with a hindered knee… he didn’t look himself early into the contest but took over when his team needed a spark.
The game is better when he’s playing at his best.

Kenny on playing Meleek:
"I've been thinking about it since Summer League. That's a good question, why didn't you play him game one? ... A little bit matchup the first two games. ... We need that kind of third ball handler, I think that's part of it, to support Don and James because teams are trying to wear those guys down."
