What is the story about?
Last
night, the Washington Wizards lost to the San Antonio Spurs, 119-94. With Kevin Broom out, I’ll do my best to break down the stats. Let’s go.
Here are some of the good things that we saw last night:
- Alex Sarr scored 18 points on 8-of-18 shooting while Bub Carington added 15 more.
- Marvin Bagley scored 13 points off the bench on 5-of-6 shooting.
- Washington wasn’t particularly turnover-prone. They had a 12.3 percent turnover percentage.
- Spurs forward Harrison Barnes was held to 0 points and 1 rebound in 18 minutes of playing time. Barnes also started.
And here’s what the Wizards didn’t do so well on:
- The Wizards allowed the Spurs to shoot 48.9 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from three while shooting much worse themselves. San Antonio didn’t have a lights out performance offensively, but the box score by itself makes things look that way with the Wizards doing so poorly.
- The Wizards allowed Dylan Harper to score 24 points off the bench in under 23 minutes. He is a strong contributor for San Antonio, but yesterday, he looked like an All-Star.
The Wizards will play the Memphis Grizzlies tomorrow on the road. Hopefully, things look a little better for that contest.
