Cleveland Cavaliers vs Washington Wizards Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 12, 2025

A fourth quarter eruption settled what had been a tightly contested affair. Cleveland's 45 combined points in Q4—the game's highest-scoring period—proved decisive as the Cavaliers edged Washington 130–126, with the combined total reaching 256. The first three quarters had moved at a measured pace, with Q1 producing 59 combined points, Q2 and Q3 each yielding 63. But the second half accelerated sharply: 134 combined points across the final 24 minutes signaled that both defenses had begun to crack.

Donovan Mitchell led the charge for Cleveland with 48 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Evan Mobley anchored the interior with 23 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists. Washington kept pace through Bub Carrington's 27 points and 8 assists and CJ McCollum's 27 points and 6 assists, but the supporting cast couldn't sustain enough firepower. Marvin Bagley III pulled down 13 rebounds and added 15 points in a losing effort.

The market had set this at 245.5; the 256 final came in 10.5 points over the line, driven largely by that late-quarter explosion. DAGGER leaned under and missed. Cleveland's win marked a stark departure from their earlier 148–115 blowout of Washington earlier this season, as both teams found more rhythm offensively in this rematch.
