The Washington Wizards squeaked out a one-point overtime win against the Indiana Pacers despite the absence of All-NBA guard Bradley Beal (hip contusion). As makes sense for an overtime game, the margins across the board were Manute Bol thin.
Defense was lacking on both ends of the court. The Pacers had an effective field goal percentage of 61.3% and lost because the Wizards shot better — 62.2%.
Washington had few answers inside against Myles Turner (40 points on 22 field goal attempts, as well as 10 rebounds and 3 blocks) and Domantas Sabonis (28 points on 13 FGA plus 9 boards and 7 assists).
