The Wizards avoided the sweep with an entertaining 122-114 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Second-year forward Rui Hachimura produced his best game in weeks — 20 points and a career-high 13 rebounds — to lead the team to its first post-season win of 2021.
Hachimura scored efficiently — he had an offensive rating (points produced per individual possession x 100) of 147 and he scored 20 on a 12.5% usage rate. He also had several possessions of solid on-ball defense that helped secure the win.
Davis Bertans broke out of his slump with 15 points (including 3-6 from three-point range) and 4 rebounds in 23 minutes.
