Wizards 115, Cavaliers 107

During his three weeks out with a shoulder injury, Andray Blatche could only watch as his Wizards teammates slowly began to show faint signs of the maturity, toughness and determination that they’d sought all season.

Blatche decided that when came back, he wanted to be part of it. On Friday, he was, and his career high-matching 36 points and a career-high 19 rebounds were just one of multiple standout individual performances in Washington’s 115-107 victory over Cleveland in front of 17,427 at Verizon Center.
