Tyus Jones being a pest defensively but then runs into the courtside scorer’s table with an audible thud, but he’s able to get up looking unscathed. – 9:16 PM

The Wizards are taking the kind of shots that usually lead to comebacks or at least the threat of them, but you gotta question if Memphis can handle the scoring part to do that. Doesn’t look like it right now. – 8:54 PM

At halftime, the Wizards lead the Grizzlies 62-46. That was an impressive half for Washington. OK, Memphis is not a particularly talented offensive team without Ja Morant, but even with that in mind, Washington limited the number of easy attempts. – 8:16 PM

Pretty fun half from the Wizards, who lead the Grizzlies 62-46. They’ve got 12 three’s, five of which are from Kispert. Good effort on defense (muuuch better than the season opener, at least, but that’s a low bar) – 8:16 PM

Follows it up by taking a loose ball the other way and finishing through contact by putting his shoulder down – 7:56 PM

Deni Avdija just hit a 3, and while it’s still too early in the season to know for certain, he does appear more comfortable with those attempts. On the ensuing Washington possession, he finished a transition layup through contact. Both results are good signs for his growth. – 7:56 PM

One of the Wizards’ goals this season is to launch more 3s. In the first quarter, they went 6 for 17 from beyond the arc. At least some of those attempts have to do with Jaren Jackson Jr.’s shot-blocking threat, but, wow, 17 attempts in a quarter is a LOT of 3PAs for the Wizards. – 7:45 PM

This has been a strong defensive first quarter for the Wizards. They’ve been much better so far than their season opener on Wednesday. They haven’t allowed many easy points, perhaps only the Xavier Tillman 3-pointer from the left corner that gave Memphis a 12-11 lead. – 7:35 PM

Corey Kispert was the Wizards’ first player off the bench tonight, replacing Kyle Kuzma. It’ll be interesting to see if Wes Unseld Jr. staggers his three veteran starters — Kuz, Jordan Poole and Tyus Jones — to make sure two of them are on the court at most times. – 7:28 PM

The Wizards’ keys tonight against Memphis:
+ Play with more effort defensively, especially at the point of attack. Communicate.
+ Stop watching when a teammate shoots. Get back. Don’t hesitate.
+ Be physical, especially on the boards.
+ Move the ball, and do so through passes. – 2:13 PM
