The Washington Wizards couldn’t overcome a San Antonio Spurs side down one 7-foot-5 Frenchman, losing by a score of 96-85.
Spurs guard Malaki Branham shrugged off his previous 1-of-17 performance to lead all scorers with 29 points on 12-of-20 shooting.
The game stayed close for most of the contest. There were a total of 15 lead changes before the Spurs pulled away midway through the fourth and never looked back.
Player Notes
Bilal Coulibaly
