The final score does not adequately convey how much better the Houston Rockets were than the Washington Wizards last night. Washington’s defense was a joke most of the night.
With Daniel Gafford dealt to the Dallas Mavericks, and Marvin Bagley III and Richaun Holmes out with injuries, interim head coach Brian Keefe once again tried Kyle Kuzma at center. Kuzma’s overall game wasn’t bad — he scored efficiently despite five turnovers — but he’s not a rim protector.
With the Wizards lacking a man in the middle, the Rockets attacked the rim over and over and over again, scoring 70 points in the paint.
