The Wizards’ John Wall drives to the basket against the Cavaliers’ Kevin Love, right, and Tristan Thompson on Saturday night in Cleveland. The loss last month proved one thing to the Wizards: They could play with the Cavaliers. As the ball ripped through the net, the Wizards’ lead now at 14 points, Cavaliers forward Kevin Love could only turn away and pout. “When we play with great energy in that first quarter,” Wizards Coach Scott Brooks said, “we have a chance to win the game. “Tonight was a good job of really attacking.”For the quarter, the Wizards shot 81.8 percent as Wall scored or assisted on 28 of the team’s 40 points.
