Wizards’ 3-point defense falling apart after another meltdown

If the Wizards’ low point of the season is still blowing a 35-point lead in the second half to the Los Angeles Clippers, then what happened Monday against the Houston Rockets can come in as a close second.

Against a team with the league’s worst record, the Wizards blew a 23-point first-half lead and lost by 18, 115-97.

In all, it turned out to be a 41-point swing. Yikes.

“We just got lazy,” Wizards wing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope said.

That laziness was especially true when it came to guarding the 3-point arc.
