After losing four in a row, the Wizards took advantage of a classic NBA “get well” game and beat the San Antonio Spurs by a comfortable enough margin that big man Kristaps Porzingis didn’t need to play in the fourth quarter.
The lineup that blew the game open: Delon Wright, Jordan Goodwin, Corey Kispert, Anthony Gill and Daniel Gafford.
By some weird twist — perhaps because we’re on Earth 2.0 since 2016 — Porzingis was the only member of the team’s “Big Three” healthy enough to take the court. Bradley Beal was out with a sore knee; Kyle Kuzma with a sprained ankle.
