By BILLY HEYEN The Washington Wizards were scheduled with a lone ESPN game before the season. It’s expected to be a rough, rebuilding type year for the Wizards. So if Rochester-native Thomas Bryant was going to make a national impression, he’d get one shot. That shot was Friday night, and Bryant didn’t miss. The Wizards […]

These teams channeled the best (and worst) of themselves and delivered an OT romp that, eventually, netted Cleveland its first win of the redux-LeBron era.
