In the aftermath of the Hornets, winners of Sacramento, and during a trip to Phoenix, the Wizards have also finally managed to put an end to their black series. It was time since the Washington players remained on ten losses in a row!
While Deandre Ayton tangled with Mikal Bridges and Monty Williams, Bradley Beal scored 16 points in the final quarter and the Wizards went 15-0 to win. A victory in the form of relief.
“It’s as if we had won a playoff game”compares Beal for the washington post. “There are a lot of optimists, everyone is in a good mood. It’s as if a weight had been lifted from our shoulders. That’s it, it’s done and we can continue to move forward. But it won’t be easy. »
The franchise in the capital had not won away from home since November 7 and the month of December, until then without a win, was starting to be very long… Success in the pocket, now, we will have to confirm.
“I know everyone in the locker room is happy”confirms Wes Unseld Jr. “This is an important step forward for us. We can build on that. When you play with urgency, with this level of physical intensity, that you don’t lose the ball, which has been one of our problems, then you give yourself a chance to win. We limited the mistakes we made in recent matches. »
But they were still sometimes present, at a few moments here or there, according to Kyle Kuzma, author of 29 points in this victory.
“We still have absences in the meeting, especially at the end of the match”, recognizes the former Lakers. “We put in and it doesn’t hurt. But it’s always the same story: we took shots, that’s very good, but we have to reduce our mental absences to a minimum. »
