The visiting Washington Wizards slipped out of Memphis with a Friday night win on one of their usual adventures. They scored 15 points on two made field goals in the fourth quarter. And thanks to a last-second 3-pointer, the Grizzlies countered with 28 points. The Wizards won by two.
The roadie started well enough with John Wall and Bradley Beal fuel. The first play of the game featured Beal and Marcin Gortat action on the left while teammates lined up in formation on the right-side arc of the 3-point line. Memphis was content to let Wall plant himself at the top right of the arc and he was feeling enough to hit it.
