Garland, Allen each score 23, Cavaliers rout Wizards 114-91

Washington led by at least 20 in each of its previous two losses, but the Wizards didn’t have to worry about blowing a big lead on this night. In fact, they were never ahead at all.

Cleveland shot 63% in the first half, leading 37-25 after one quarter and 64-44 after two.

Caris LeVert, back after missing two games with a sore right hamstring, had a steal and dunk in the third quarter to make it 83-57. Cleveland led by as many as 28 points.

Mitchell, who has been bothered by a groin issue recently, looked pretty spry when he threw down a windmill dunk on an alley-oop from Garland to make it 101-74.

LeVert, who could be dealt this week because of his expiring contract and uncertain role, scored 10 points. Kevin Love, another possible trade candidate, did not play.
