The Washington Wizards (33-41) beat the San Antonio Spurs (19-55), 136-124.
With the Spurs in hot pursuit of French center Victor Wembanyama and the Wizards not disinterested in the idea of drafting him themselves, the game felt incredibly lethargic and low-stakes.
The Spurs surprisingly hung with the Wizards for the first three quarters, a fact that’s pretty damning for a team that seems to want to make the play-in so bad.
The confusing part for the Wizards was that if they weren’t particularly interested in winning the game, why did they choose not to put in guys like Johnny Davis, Quenton Jackson and Xavier Cooks for more reps?
