At the half, the Wiz are up 12 mostly off some good shooting and taking advantage of some sloppy Cavs play. The Cavs are playing decent offense and set defense but are getting burned by turnovers and the transition game. The Cavs made another mini run at the end, but gave up a wide open jumper at the last second.
I just dont see much effort out there. Hughes wasn't looking that great to start the game, but thats where hes going to be from now on. If Brown starts Flip or something now, it'll cause all sorts of instability I'm sure.
The Cavs only have 7 free throws in the first half, they average about 30 a game, so its a sign that the guys aren't being as aggressive as normal.
The Cavs are going to have to step it up soon to win this one. And if they do, its going to be another one down to the wire.
