The Numbers Crunch: Giannis dunks the Wizards

This was the kind of game I expected when the Wizards traded away Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis to initiate a complete rebuild. Washington gave a good effort, stayed in contact with a better opponent (even taking the lead briefly in the fourth quarter), and then got stomped over the final 10 minutes to end up a 13-point loser.

Don’t get me wrong, Washington’s defense was abysmal. But they tried and got their collective teeth kicked in by a much better team led by an all-time great at the height of his powers. It happens.

Once again, the Wizards got pummeled on the boards.
