This one was no surprise. The Wizards entered the night 11th in the East with the NBA’s eighth worst scoring differential. The Denver Nuggets came to DC first in the West and sixth in scoring differential. Washington got some nice moments from young players but got blasted 39-16 in the third quarter and lost, 118-104.
The Wizards have now lost four in a row, seven of their last eight, and nine of their last 11. Their lone victories were against the husk of a terrible and decimated Detroit Pistons.
In this one, big man Kristaps Porzingis scored at will when he could stay on the court.
