The Cleveland Cavaliers pulled out a sloppy 119-115 come from behind win over the Washington Wizards.

The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to be one of the most frustrating yet entertaining teams in basketball. The Cavs jumped out to an early 15 point lead thanks to a 39 point first quarter. But, terrible play in the second and third quarter saw the Cavs not only give up the lead, but fall behind by 17.

Fortunately, for Cleveland, there isn’t a lead that’s too big for LeBron James. James led the comeback with 33 points, 14 assists, and nine rebounds. However, he also finished with a game-high six turnovers.

Here’s what we learned from the comeback win.
