Coulibaly kills the suspense
Patrick Baldwin Jr and Johnny Davis then provided the necessary relays for DC to stay in touch. Bilal Coulibaly found Kyle Alexander for the equalizing dunk at 71-71 before Jules Bernard’s 3-pointer gave the Wizards a 5-point lead with 10 minutes remaining.
But while Washington quickly rose to +14 (93-79), Boston managed to put the pressure back on at the end thanks to the 3-pointers of the Mulder-Champagne-Walsh trio to return to 101-98 with 30 seconds remaining. . In the last moments of the match, it was Bilal Coulibaly who killed the suspense with a shot from mid-distance baseline after feigning the drive towards the circle. All good for confidence while waiting to challenge Spurs on Tuesday night.
