The Cleveland Cavaliers are in the dark 11 games into the young 2014-2015 NBA Season and teams are preying on the lack of cohesion and chemistry with the newly formed super team. John Wall and company handed the Cavaliers their third straight loss, 91-78.

There were so many lowlights for the Cavaliers in this one. Kevin Love registered his season-low 8 points on just 8 shots. Kyrie Irving went 0-for-6 from the three point line. LeBron James was showing bad form and not running back defensively leaving the team to scramble defensively 4-on-5 late in the fourth quarter. As talented the team has been constructed, it also failed to put up a single field goal in the final 9 minutes. James addressed the body language of the team and admitted there is a lot of work to do after falling below 0.500, a disappointing 5-6.

''It's something we've got to work on. We understand that. It starts with me, for sure. It's something I'll always work on, too,'' James said after the game to Yahoo Sports. ''It trickles down to everyone else.''

The Washington Wizards rebounded from a terrible loss from the hands of the Eastern Conference-leading Toronto Raptors and relied on rising point guard John Wall to frustrate the Cavs. Wall did much of his damage in the fourth quarter and finished the game with a statistically-stuffed line of 28 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds.

It was a great defensive effort from the team of Randy Whittman that limited the Cavaliers to its season low in points. The team also admitted that it targeted struggling superstar Kevin love on the defensive end of the floor, sending out a platoon of post-up players in Gortat, Nene and Kevin Seraphim to punish the sweet shooting player down low and take him out of his rhythm.

David Blatt and the Cavaliers will look into solutions over the next few days as they are set to next face a big challenge against Toronto Saturday. The European coach admitted is in the dark because of irresponsible play and bad decisions which has been prevalent in the three-game funk that started at home against Denver on Monday night. The Wizards on the other hand continue to build on their 8-3 record as they take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.
