In a defense optional game — SPOILER ALERT: everyone declined the option — the San Antonio Spurs outscored the Washington Wizards in double overtime, and departed the nation’s capital with a 157-153 victory.
For the Wizards, it was their third worst defensive rating of the season. For the Spurs, it was their 9th worst. As Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma put it, “A whole lot of no defense.”
How bad was Washington’s defense? They were at their best defensively with Thomas Bryant on the floor, who has been a train wreck defensively for most of his tenure in DC.
