Rookie Troy Brown led the way for the Wizards with 21 points and 8 rebounds as Washington knocked off the Guangzhou Long-Lions, 140-111 in their final tuneup before the regular season. Devin Robinson added 23 points—many coming on dunks on the jump-out-of-the-gym variety—and Thomas Bryant added 12 points for a Wizards team looking to carry some of this positive momentum into the beginning of the regular season.
Marreese Speights of the Long-Lions came out like someone trying to prove they belong in the NBA. The former Warrior scored 16 points in the first period while shooting 4-5 from three-point range—en route to a 41-point night.
