The Wizards led by 11 with 10:08 to play and got outscored 30-11 the rest of the way to lose to the Dallas Mavericks by eight.
It was an ugly game replete with bricks (a combined 23.5% from three-point range), turnovers (16 for Dallas, 15 for the Wizards), and even a bloody foul (Corey Kispert elbowed Luka Doncic in the chin).
In a league averaging 116.0 points per 100 possessions, the Wizards and Mavericks together produced an offensive rating of just 96.
If you didn’t watch, you might be tempted to think it was a game characterized by stellar defense.
