The Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the Washington Wizards 138–113 on February 11 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, cruising to a 25-point victory well below the Vegas total of 238.5 points. S. Merrill led the Cavaliers with 32 points while D. Mitchell added 30, as Cleveland shot 54.2 percent from the field and connected on 16 three-pointers to overwhelm a struggling Washington offense. The Wizards managed just 40.4 percent shooting and 14 made threes, with K. George (17 points) and J. Watkins (16 points) unable to generate consistent scoring. Cleveland's defense was suffocating, holding a 132.3 defensive rating while outrebounding Washington 51–40 and forcing 14 turnovers. The Cavaliers' second quarter proved decisive, outscoring the Wizards 36–37 to establish control early, and they never relinquished that advantage despite a slightly stronger Washington third quarter. The 25-point margin underscores Cleveland's defensive efficiency and offensive balance, positioning the Cavaliers firmly in playoff contention while Washington's inconsistent shooting and defensive vulnerabilities compound their postseason concerns.
