Another heartbreaker (if a regular-season basketball game can be so called)

For the second night in a row, the Cavaliers had a chance to win on the road. For the second night in a row, they fell short. LeBron James missed a three at the buzzer that would have won the game, but instead, it was a 101-99 loss to the Wizards.

I'm not usually critical of LeBron, but it sure seemed like he wasted a lot of time on that last possession. The Cavs got the ball with eight seconds left. That's plenty of time to make a move toward the bucket. Why didn't he do that? He went 1-for-7 from three-point range. He does sometimes get a feel for the outside shot, but when he's 1-for-6 and the game is on the line, he shouldn't be dribbling at the top of the arc for six seconds and then jacking up a prayer.

The loss wasted a nice performance from Sasha Pavlovic, playing just his second game since Jan. 23 after coming back from a foot injury. Sasha scored 24 points on 9-of-15 shooting, including 5-of-9 from beyond the arc. He supplemented that with one rebound, one assist, one steal and six personal fouls, but still, it was nice to see.
