Against the Oklahoma City Thunder, a team designed to lose, the Wizards made 17 threes on 50% shooting from deep, had an effective field goal percentage of 61.0%, and had 32 assists on 44 field goals — and lost on a last-second three from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. For most NBA teams, this would be improbable. For Washington, it’s #SoWizards.
The loss snapped a four-game winning streak and dropped the Wizards record to 8-7.
The game featured one of those moments that seem to happen with regularity to this franchise. With barely over a minute to play, Deni Avdija powered down the lane for a strong left-handed finish to tie the game at 116.
