The starters for the Wizards were 2023 first-round draft pick Bilal Coulibaly, Kyle Kuzma, Jordan Poole, Tyus Jones and Daniel Gafford. Coulibaly was a smart choice as he got going quickly on defense for Washington
Washington came out hot defensively as a unit not allowing the Taipans to score for over three minutes.
