Beyond the raw result and the quality of the opposition, the objective for each Summer League team remains above all to progress as a collective. After a week of competition, the Wizards can be proud of their progress, both in defense and attack, after dominating the match against OKC tonight, although deprived of Chet Holmgren. Bilal Coulibaly is perhaps the symbol of this evolution in the right direction, since the former Mets 92 player signs his best game of the week with 19 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and above all 4 blocks which confirm all his potential of this side of the field.
The rear remained discreet during a first half rather well managed by his team (48-42), under the impetus of Johnny Davis in particular. He then gradually freed himself, between his two baskets including a 3-pointer on the wing, his serve for Johnny Davis’ 3-pointer or his two counterattacks on Hunter Maldonado and Jaden Shackelford.
Coulibaly is gaining momentum
Dejan Vasiljevic’s 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter took the Wizards to +10 (78-68) while an 8-2 scored by two baskets including a dunk from Bilal Coulibaly definitively detached Washington from the score (96-79).
Author of 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Ousmane Dieng, the other Frenchman of the match on the OKC side, will have tried everything to try to keep his team in the game, in the third quarter in particular where he is shown to its advantage. Insufficient, however, to worry the Wizards of the Coulibaly-Davis-Vasiljevic-Rollins quartet, which allowed DC to win 105-89. As soon as the match was over, the two “Frenchies” congratulated each other. See you in the regular season!
