The Washington Wizards (8 - 3) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (5 - 6) 91 - 78 on Friday. Washington knocked the Cavaliers under .500 at a part of the season where such a state seems improbable, regardless of how early in the season it is relative to the number of games everyone has left to play. LeBron James' teams may stumble from time to time, but they do n't usually falter to the point the Cavs have thus far. The Wizards brought Bradley Beal off the bench for a second straight game as they work to get him up to speed. Beal put up 12 points in 32 minutes off the bench. Cleveland shot 36 percent from the field and coughed up 19 turnovers, two numbers that often come with a loss. While the Cavaliers have preached patience, questions about whether or not the pieces they have can fit together have already been getting tossed around liberally in NBA circles. Washington will go on the road to play the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Cleveland takes their three - game losing streak back home to face another tough opponent in the Toronoto Raptors on Saturday.
