In a game where the Wizards had an effective field goal percentage of 57.4%, shot 7-15 from three-point range, and posted an offensive rating of 120 — their fourth best performance of the season — nearly every post-game comment I saw or heard was some kind of complaint about the team’s offense.
It may not have been pretty, it may not look like the ideal “good offense,” but the Wizards made their shots, protected the ball and were plenty good enough on the offensive end to beat the Indiana Pacers.
They lost, 116-110, because their defense was terrible.
