What is the story about?
The
Washington Wizards lost to the Golden State Warriors last night, 125-117. Kevin Broom is out today, so let’s break down the numbers, starting with the four factors.
Let’s go with the pros:
- Effective field goal percentage: Despite the loss, the Wizards still had a higher shooting percentage here thanks to a better three point shooting night.
- Three Wizards players scored 21 points: Will Riley, Bilal Coulibaly and Trae Young scored this magic number each and at a good efficiency.
And the cons:
- Kristaps Porzingis: There was no Stephen Curry or Jimmy Butler. Draymond Green was the assist and rebounding power. But Porzingis came off the bench and scored 30 points.
- Turnovers: Washington gave up 21 turnovers last night compared to 17 for Golden State. Against a more established team, that’s how things work against the Wizards.
- 12 straight losses? I’d like to see a win every now and then.
No rest for the weary. The Detroit Pistons are in tonight so let’s hope the Wizards don’t lose 13 in a row.
