In another high-scoring and entertaining game, the Wizards rode an outstanding performance from backup point guard Ish Smith and contributions from up and down the roster to defeat the reeling San Antonio Spurs 138-132 and run their record to 4-8.
They won’t reclaim their position as the NBA’s best offense because the Dallas Mavericks got to feast on the hapless Golden State Warriors, which has the league’s worst defense. Still, it was an impressive and balanced offensive performance from the Wizards, who had three players score 20 or more points, and had seven players in double figures.
