The Washington Wizards fell to the the San Antonio Spurs tonight, 131-121. The Wizards stormed back from being down multiple times, but they just couldn’t quite come all the way back.
Entertaining the fans and keeping the game competitive but then ultimately losing to keep the draft lottery odds up? Now that’s prime Wizards basketball.
On French Heritage Night, Victor Wembanyama got on the board with a heels-on-the-logo three-pointer. Then, on the next possession, he drained another. Then another. Then he sank a one-legged fadeaway over Bilal Coulibaly. Wemby’s 11 straight points were immediately followed up by a Chris Paul three-pointer.
