After taking care of business against the Indiana Pacers to start off the season, the Washington Wizards couldn’t duplicate their success on Friday night as they fell, 127-117.
Washington took a 13-8 lead during the opening minutes, but it didn’t last for very long. Fueled by the three-ball, Indiana went off on a 22-2 run that pushed their lead to 15.
The Wizards managed to limit the damage by the end of the quarter, 36-28, scoring five points in the final 16 seconds capped by a Kyle Kuzma buzzer-beating three.
But the Pacers didn’t let up.
