Cleveland Cavaliers: What we learned vs. Washington Wizards
LeBron James is the youngest player to record over 29,000 career points.
James is now the seventh player in NBA history to reach this plateau. LeBron has broken many records throughout his career, and there’s still many more that he could break. It’s even a possibility that he could be the all-time leading scorer in NBA history.
Cleveland needs these kinds of performances from Jae Crowder.
There’s no secret the Cavaliers have been awful on defense this year, and Crowder hasn’t done much to help. He hasn’t been the high-energy, defensive specialist he was in Boston so far this year.
Crowder looked like his old self on Friday night. He did a great job of closing out on shooters and forcing turnovers. Cleveland desperately needs his defensive pressure and energy right now, especially with Tristan Thompson sidelined.
