On a night when the Wizards set a season-high for points in a quarter, they still couldn’t find a way to change history. The Wizards fell to the Spurs for the 19th straight time in San Antonio in a 132-119 defeat on Sunday night.
Washington opened the game with an emphatic dunk for the second straight game, prompting a swift timeout from Gregg Popovich. After they regrouped, they settled down and established LaMarcus Aldridge on the low block to get the Wizards’ shorthanded front line in early foul trouble. Bryant and Jeff Green wisely avoided the early whistles, but couldn’t stop him from connecting on 5 of his 8 shots in the first quarter.
