Kentavious Caldwell-Pope made all six of his 3-point attempts tonight. He became the third player in franchise history, and the first since Larry Hughes (12/31/04), to make all of his 3-pointers on at least six attempts, per @AleCarusone of @washwizardspr. – 11:15 PM

John Collins, on how his foot felt:
“It was good … It was sort of stiff … Trying to get it back used to NBA movements: cuts, contact, and all of that good stuff. So no complaints. It will probably be sore tomorrow. Rehab, do what I need to do, and go from there.” – 10:26 PM

With 3:39 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Atlanta Hawks have turned the ball over just two times all game. The lowest turnover count for a Wizards opponent this season is four, on Feb. 2 by the Sixers in Philly. The Wizards won that game 106-103. They trail tonight 111-103. – 9:10 PM

PIstons up 65-62 at halftime. Hield, Brogdon, and Washington combined for over half of the Pacers points, and each one scored in double figures. But the Pacers had some defensive lapses leading to Piston 3s. Work to do for the blue and gold. – 8:04 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pistons not able to sustain hot shooting. After 9/10 start from 3, 0/5 since. Down as many as 15, Pacers closed the half on a 17-6 run to get within a possession, 65-62.
Brogdon has 13, Washington Jr. 12 and Hield 11. Want to see Haliburton look for his shot more, he’s 1/3. – 8:03 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
20-8 run from the Pacers to cut the Detroit lead to 3. Washington and Haliburton have their fingerprints all over this run on offense, and the defense has improved. Detoit finally missing outside shots helped, too. – 8:00 PM

Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Kyle Kuzma is behind Deni Avdija in warmup layup lines. He playfully runs into Avdija’s back to draw the foul as he steps back and took a three. Kuzma airballed it and I think Deni started cracking up at him 🙅🏽‍♂ – 7:06 PM

Extending Terry McLaurin is a “huge priority” for Washington, a league source says. I’m told the 26-year-old McLaurin is seeking bona fide No. 1 receiver money. He’s averaged nearly 1,100 yards on 84 catches the last two seasons. #Commanders – 5:33 PM

New pod with @Chris Vernon on the Clippers thriving, Lakers booed, the importance of depth this season, Luka, Durant, Trae going off, and more.

What is the biggest difference on Daniel Gafford’s game? His confidence on offense! Wizards’ big man talked about his progress during the season and the flexibility his team has into the roster.
