Last night, the Washington Wizards had an effective field goal percentage of 61.1%, grabbed 11 offensive rebounds, and got a hyper-efficient 42 points from Jordan Poole, and lost, 139-130 to the San Antonio Spurs.
Could I nitpick the offense on the team’s best offensive performance of the season? Sure. But offense wasn’t the issue. Even with a few imperfections, the offense was more than good enough to win. They lost because they were helpless against Victor Wembanyama, and they couldn’t slow anyone else without fouling.
The 7-4 Frenchman poured in a career high 50 points, which included shooting 8-16 on threes, 10-13 on twos, and 6-9 from the free throw line.
