The Washington Wizards lost a roller coaster of a clash 129-121 on Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers at Capital One Arena.
Deni Avdija’s return to D.C. did not go as planned as the 24-year-old suffered a quad injury in the first quarter of the contest.
The first half was about as ugly as it gets when you have two rebuilding teams squaring off in February. The two teams went 10/43 from downtown over the first two quarters With the Blazers scratching out a 55-54 lead at the half.
What did Washington in was the team’s inability to secure defensive rebounds.
