We need to talk more about Deni Avdija’s defensive progress. He can understand the game way better on that end.
That crucial block on James Harden was a part of his development. He locked Harden down in this play!

Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Washington’s up 106-98 with 6:40 to go. One of the best ways the Wizards can help their defense the rest of the way is not to rush on offense. Yes, they should run off misses when they can. But they need to be careful not to take OK shots early in the clock and let Philly run. – 8:09 PM

Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Paul Reed checks in and:
– bats the ball out to Harden for a triple off of a miss
– walls off Beal at the rim and gets a stop
– rim-runs and gets a dunk in transition
5-point swing in like 30 seconds of game time. – 6:58 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
(2/2) I think the Wizards would be better off in this game against this opponent (without Embiid) to play more deliberately in the halfcourt and be more patient with their attempts. Their impatience just led to a mini-run by the Sixers. – 6:58 PM

PJ Tucker may just call have to take an extra foul on occasion to force the coach’s hand on playing Paul Reed. – 6:58 PM

(1/2) I know the Wizards want to get out in transition off Sixers misses because that can create easy scoring opportunities. But the Wizards are rushing some of their possessions in the halfcourt, leading to misses and Sixers transition opportunities. – 6:57 PM

The Wizards have done a superb job over the last several minutes of recognizing Daniel Gafford’s offensive mismatches against smaller defenders deep in the paint — and then passing to Gafford for high-percentage shot attempts. Gafford has eight points in six minutes. – 6:49 PM

The Wizards are taking advantage of their height advantage with 26 of their 41 points coming in the paint. They lead by 6. – 6:47 PM

It didn’t end up costing them on that possession, but the Wizards failing to match up off of a made basket leading to Daniel Gafford guarding Tyrese Maxey bringing the ball up epitomizes their defensive struggles. – 6:47 PM

Really nice ATO by Wes Unseld Jr. where Rui Hachimura dumps it off to Bradley Beal on a curl and then able to set a pick on Danuel House. – 6:33 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Deni Avdija just made an alert play as a help defender with the score tied 18-18. Danuel House Jr. faked and drove past Kristaps Porziņģis and then attempted a layp. Avdija slid over, contested the shot and forced a miss. – 6:29 PM

#Sixers call after James Harden remained for the floor for a couple of minutes after a collision near the Sixers basket. He’s up now, trying to stretch out his left knee. – 6:19 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Do not know what the happened exactly, but James Harden appeared to hurt his left leg on a drive (maybe he banged knees?). Looks like he is staying in the game, but a bit of an awkward play and fall there. – 6:18 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Kyle Kuzma had five shot attempts in 33 minutes Monday against Philly. In tonight’s first 3 1/2 minutes in Philly, Kuzma already has three attempts — and five points. – 6:17 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
James Harden was on the floor in some pain, grabbing his left knee after that last possession. Couldn’t tell what happened from our angle here, might have banged it. Up and moving now around the bench – 6:17 PM
