Overtime loss doesn't erase encouraging offensive breakthrough for Wizards
It can be extremely hard to find positives from a six-game losing streak when, before the season, the team had pretty high expectations. However, despite their double overtime 144-140 loss to the Detroit Pistons, the Washington Wizards finally played to their capabilities, especially offensively.
Obviously, giving up 144 points isn't ideal, but at the same time, when Cade Cunningham is playing the way that he was, you just have to tip your cap because that was an MVP-level performance. But the Wizards' trio of Anthony Davis, Trae Young, and Alex Sarr combined for 97 points, and this game was by far the most synchronized the offense has looked all season.
