What happened
Washington fell below .500 for the first time this season after Cleveland erased a halftime cushion and won 121-111.
Rookie AJ Dybantsa returned from a preseason ankle injury, debuted with 19 points in 27 minutes, and opened Washington's first possession.
LINEUP CONTEXT
His return adds a live rotation option, but Washington still needs steadier offense late if it wants to protect leads.
