The Washington Wizards, still without Head Coach Wes Unseld, Jr., lost to the Brooklyn Nets, 119-118 on Wednesday night at Capital One Arena.
Assistant Coach Joseph Blair, who earned his first career win as an NBA coach in his first-ever coaching start Monday against Philadelphia, again took charge of Washington.
Brooklyn entered tonight’s game without Kevin Durant, the league’s leading scorer, who is out with a left MCL sprain. Even without one of the top players in the association, the Nets boast some of the game’s most electric stars in Kyrie Irving, who is only playing away games, and former MVP James Harden.
