The Warriors easily beat the Wizards Monday night.
If you look at the lead image you’re looking at the most interesting image from the Washington Wizards’ 125-112 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, national icon, came with a message. His players then made sure that there was nothing else too exciting or interesting that evening on the court.
The Warriors started the game decisively with Steph Curry above all being decisive, despite coming back from an ankle injury. He was looking good to the tune of 18 points already in the first two periods, making sure that he wouldn’t need to be logging huge minutes down the stretch (total of 24 minutes or so).
The first quarter ended 29-20 to the Warriors’ advantage and from there the scoreboard didn’t change much, basically hoovering around that small small double-digit lead for the Warriors.
We didn’t even have one of those patented #SoWizards comebacks from behind…
Impressively, the Warriors continued with their strength-by-numbers trend, employing no less than a dozen players to play significant minutes.
If you have nothing else to do and you happen to look at the box-score, you might think that there is a typo there. Did Kyshawn George actually take 17 (one, seven) three-pointers for the Wizards? Jordan Poole certainly did take 10. I guess this must be a Wizard’s strategy. The Wizards had a lamentable 23 percent from deep. I guess it was just a bad shooting night. I’d wonder if it might be an NBA record of attempts for a rookie.
Here are the highlights:
