The Wizards have flaws and are due a crash at some point, but I’m happy about three things that seem relatively sustainable:
1. Beal and KP have good on-court chemistry
2. The starting lineup works
3. Deni’s coming into his own – 10:38 PM

After their loss tonight in Washington, Steve Clifford wasn’t pleased and said the #Hornets need a major change in attitude. And like right now.
“The biggest thing,” he said, “is we’ve got to play tougher, ok?”

Short-handed Heat gave themselves a real chance Friday night by allowing Washington to turn 10 Miami turnovers (in 53 minutes) into only eight points.
Tonight, in 24 minutes: 11 Heat turnovers, 21 Cleveland points off them.
And that, as they say, is that. – 8:11 PM

Deni Avdija does a great job grabbing a low bounce pass from Bradley Beal in transition and finishes with the reverse and-1 layup.
Misses the free throw, but gets his own rebound and putback.

Not a huge fan of the Charlotte strategy early vs Porzingis. Putting Plumlee on him, which has opened up the rim for easy drives and cuts, while also letting KP get loose for a couple 3s. Would put Plumlee on Avdija so he can help at rim. – 6:25 PM

Booker wondering where was the foul as he hit the back post of the basket hard on the defensive end.
On the other end, Washington Jr. for 3.
#Suns had a 11-0 run in building a 15-point lead going into the 4th. – 5:14 PM

With Monté Morris and Delon Wright out but Jordan Goodwin returning from injury tonight, I think the Wizards will start Bradley Beal and Corey Kispert in their backcourt and keep Goodwin in his usual role off the bench. That’s my opinion on how they’ll open the game. – 3:58 PM
