The Washington Wizards lost to the Portland Trail Blazers, 108-102 on Friday night.
Washington struggled in this one to make shots from behind the arc, shooting only 5 for 33. In contrast, the Blazers shot 9 for 31 from downtown, but much of their damage came in the first half where they shot 7 for 18. Blazers went up by as many as 12 points but the Blazers begin to cool off as the game went on, as they only shot 2 for 13 from range after halftime.
The Wizards also struggled in the interior. They simply did not have an answer for Deandre Ayton.
