The Numbers Crunch: Wizards fall short despite Kuzma’s 28-9-10 outburst

I know the Wizards ended up losing after taking a 19-point lead in the second half. I know they made a bunch of mistakes in the fourth quarter. I know Wes Unseld Jr. made a few...sub-optimal coaching decisions.

I just can’t work up anger or even frustration, and it’s not even because of the Thanksgiving feast set for later today. Happy Thanksgiving, by the way.

The Wizards played hard, and for stretches at least, well. They executed their defensive scheme for portions of the game, and on offense, they found some ways to get Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma easier shots — at least until Poole and Kuzma attempted hero ball.
