The Wizards lost a wild and entertaining game, 120-119, when Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan hit a buzzer-beating three against a Corey Kispert and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope double in the corner.
DeRozan’s last-second shot came seconds after Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma hit a three to give Washington a two-point lead with three seconds on the clock.
With many players out of the lineup (for both teams) due to Covid protocols, illnesses and injuries, Washington’s Bradley Beal started at PG and played a terrific game. His shooting wasn’t great — just 8-20 from the floor and 0-4 from three-point range — but he was 11-13 from the free throw line en route to 27 points, and he set a new career high with 17 assists.
