The Wizards win streak ends at eight with a 146-143 overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs. This was a wildly entertaining game replete with offensive pyrotechnics, but few threes, clutch plays and clutch bungles, weird calls from the refs, and the requisite baffling lineup decisions from Scott Brooks.
The game was close from start to finish. Washington’s biggest lead was 9 (early in the fourth quarter); San Antonio’s was 7 (in the 2nd quarter). The longest scoring run from either team was 11 points. The game was tied 20 times and there were 31 lead changes.
