The Washington Wizards entered Wednesday’s contest against the Brooklyn Nets as the hottest team in the East (no, seriously). The fun times came to an end in a 122-119 overtime loss to the Nets at Capitol One Arena.
Any discussion of Wednesday’s loss starts and ends with Jordan Poole. The 6’4” guard put on an absolute show with a season-high 38 points on 15-of-24 shooting and 5-of-12 from distance. He also tallied seven rebounds and eight assists.
Poole torched both the Nets and the actual nylon nets all evening. He also hit several big shots in the fourth quarter, piling on 14 points in the final frame.
