The Wizards got blown out again, this time a 22-point drubbing by the Dallas Mavericks. In a league that scores 112 points per 100 possessions, the Wizards scored fewer than 100 for a second straight game. And for a second straight game, they were defensively inept, allowing a defensive rating of 116 (yes, the exact drtg they posted in their loss to the Detroit Pistons).
Once again, nearly everyone on the team played poorly. Robin Lopez was good with 18 points on 9 shots, but had just 5 rebounds and committed 3 turnovers in 32 minutes.
The rest of the team was below average. Russell Westbrook played hard as usual, but couldn’t carry the offense with Bradley Beal’s league-leading scoring on the sideline.
