Wizards Lead 🪄

Alex Sarr’s offense has taking a slight turn within this new offense. @JL_On_Hoops asked Trae Young postgame what has caused Sarr’s field goal attempts to go down:

Wizards allowed Okongwu to get 16 rebounds and Daniels to get 17. Tough night. AD records 26 PTS, 10 RBS, three blocks Kyshawn 25 PTS, seven assists

Final: Wizards 105 Hawks 120

Wizards have put the bench in. Waving the white flag.

Kyshawn George is having a nice game. 23 points, seven assists and four rebounds.

Wizards are 5/23 from deep. Hawks are 18/43. Wizards have 39 rebounds. Hawks gave 50. Dyson Daniels has 17 of those rebounds. Wizards need to clean the class and shoot/make more 3s.

Some of these calls are very questionable

Going into the fourth, Wizards are down 93-85

Bilal Coulibaly seemed to hurt his hand on a play a few possessions ago. He was able to get a steal with that same hand, but he was holding it to the side after. He seems to be fine now, as he is checking back into the game after the timeout.

AJ is struggling on offense today but his defense has looked really good.

Anthony Davis recorded 18 points, six rebounds, three assists and two blocks in the first half, joining Chris Webber (twice) as the only Wizards to have record those numbers in a single half since at least 1996-97.

At the half, Wizards are down 68-61 Washington’s Achilles heel tonight is the rebounding. They are not closing out possessions as the Hawks have 11 offensive rebounds. Davis has a game-high 18 points. Kyshawn George has 10.

The Hawks already have 10 offensive rebounds. Wizards have to close out their defensive possessions.

AJ anytime he goes to the basket

Anthony Davis is on one tonight. 14 points on 7-10 shooting so far.

Wizards can’t buy a 3PT. They are shooting 1/8 right now.

After one, Wizards are down 37-32 The defense needs to contain the Hawks from deep. They are shooting 50% from behind the arc. But the Wizards are shooting a hit 61% from the field. AD has a game-high 10 points.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker is 3/5 from 3PT. Wizards have to do a better job closing out on him.

Coming out the timeout, AD is still limping a little but he is not coming out the game. Very encouraging sign.

Anthony Davis is limping from a play but he then proceeds to hit a fadeaway and then the very next play, finishes an alley-oop slam.
