The Washington Wizards (23-33) continued their winning streak by blowing out the Detroit Pistons (17-40), 121-120. This is their fourth consecutive victory!
Washington never lagged behind in the game and the momentum was clearly on their side in the first half with Russell Westbrook getting an almost triple-double with 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 7 points. As you might guess, Westbrook got its triple-double with 15 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists. Bradley Beal scored 19 of his 37 points in the first half.
And … Daniel Gafford? He has 8 points, 8 rebounds, FOUR BLOCKS, AND A PUTBACK SLAM LIKE THIS!
Davis Bertans missed his second consecutive game for personal reasons, especially with the birth of his second child. Rui Hachimura also left the game early due to knee pain. Alex Len also left the game early due to ankle pain. Hopefully nothing is serious for Hachimura or Len.
For Detroit, Frank Jackson and Isaiah Stewart have 19 points each.
The Wizards will continue their home field against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. Tipoff is at 20:00 ET for Washington’s last home game without fans this season. Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone.
