In a somewhat entertaining game, the Wizards bricked more threes than the Memphis Grizzlies and lost for their fifth time in six games.
Washington’s defensive game plan gave up a bunch of open threes, but a) the Grizzlies had a crappy shooting night (just 9-29), and b) it helped limit Memphis PG Ja Morant. The Wizards used 6-9 Deni Avdija on Morant much of the game, and while Avdija had his struggles, he did a creditable job against the freakishly quick Morant.
Jordan Goodwin, getting 26 minutes with Bradley Beal and Delon Wright out, also did a solid job on Morant.
