Two winless teams entered the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, Tuesday afternoon. One, the Washington Wizards, emerged victorious, now 1-2 in summer league competition.
It was a close, relatively high-scoring affair, with the Wizards and Dallas Mavericks racking up 164 points between them. This was a bit of a surprise, reflecting on the almost amateur action, given the Mavs made just one-third of their attempts from the field; the Wiz shot 47.1 percent. Worse: The two teams combined to go 5-for-44 from 3-point range. The Mavericks made the majority (3) on 31 attempts, while the Summer Wizards, now famous for eschewing the long ball, went 2-for-13.
