Kevin Love and Evan Mobley duel it out for top spot in Cavs Top 3

Kevin Love and Evan Mobley were among the few highlights in the loss.

Kevin Love and Evan Mobley were among the only highlights the team had against the Wizards. Playing without four key players in Darius Garland, Cedi Osman, Jarrett Allen, and the recently injured Ricky Rubio, the Cavs were unable to muster any real offense outside of Mobley and Love.

This wasn’t surprising, as few teams, if any, can lose most of their lineup and reserve unit and still win. Despite the odds, the Cavaliers saw a lot to be impressed with from their two big men. Love had not looked this crisp for this long period of time in a while and Mobley was nearly destroying the Wizards on his own during the first quarter.

This is a team sport, however, and the rest of the Cavs couldn’t do their fair share. The team ended up falling 110-93 to the Wizards in a game that was largely over by halftime. The Cavaliers fell to 20-15 on the season.
