The Sacramento Kings are one of the NBA’s weaker teams. The Wizards lost to them anyway to earn their second five-game losing streak of the season.
Against one of the worst defensive teams in league history — the Kings have a defensive rating of 119.2, which is the highest on record — the Wizards were below average from the floor (.511 effective field goal percentage) and committed 15 turnovers. Overall, their offensive rating was 109 — 10 points per 100 possessions below Sacramento’s average.
This really wasn’t caused by the Kings defending well. Washington got an array of open shots, which they missed.
