The Washington Wizards continued their disappointing performance into December, suffering a heavy 118-87 defeat against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team struggled from the outset, falling behind by 15 points in the first quarter and never recovering.

Coach Brian Keefe acknowledged the team's slow start, emphasizing the need for consistent effort throughout the game. Rookie point guard Bub Carrington echoed this sentiment, urging his teammates to bring more energy to avoid falling into deep deficits.

This loss marks the Wizards' 15th consecutive defeat, just one shy of tying their franchise record for the longest losing streak.
