Jazz 107, Wizards 104: Grand Opening, Bad Closing

Two days ago my fellow TAI colleague Bryan Frantz wrote an astute piece explaining that the Wizards’ hero ball antics–particularly from John Wall and Bradley Beal late in the game–needed to cease if the Wizards had any designs on improving their record and their chances for a deep playoff run.

At one point, Frantz mentioned that high minutes from Beal and Wall, along with their combined 33-percent fourth quarter shooting, was a recipe for failure.

The next day, Kyle Weidie, another TAI colleague, re-posted Frantz’s article, highlighting the damning statistics that show just how putrid Wall and Beal’s late game shooting has been.
