The Washington Wizards’ 159-158 loss to the Houston Rockets was the definition of a shootout. The two teams scored over 300 combined points in regulation!
For the most part, I was pleased with the Wizards despite the loss. You can watch the highlights above, but here are some things that stood out from the box score.
Stats of the Game: 17-7, 18-12 and 7-11
No, this isn’t the score of the Nationals’ World Series-clinching win against the Astros (it was 6-2 by the way). The stat 17-7 is the number of rebounds the Rockets had against the Wizards.
