Rui Hachimura’s return to his home country brought the fans out in droves. Of course, Steph Curry’s presence may also have had something to do with the packed Saitama Super Arena. The electric atmosphere fueled a fun and meaningful first quarter, which may be all you can ask for in the preseason. The Wizards ended up losing 96-87, but they learned some things along the way.
