Just before another away game in San Antonio, the Washington Wizards climbed to third place in the East early Sunday morning with a 7:13 balance after 114: 120 away over Luca Doncic's Dallas Mavericks en route to a second straight win.
Danny Abdia, recorded a solid game of 7 points (3 of 7 from the field, 1 of 4 from the three), rebound and assist in 19 minutes on the floor.
Bradley Bill finished with 26 points on an effective shooting evening of 10 of 14 from the field and also delivered 7 assists as he took quite a bit of responsibility for managing the game in the absence of Spencer Dinwiddie, who again got a rest.
Luka Doncic does not understand,
The Wizards finished with 9 of 24 of the three (37.5%) and 28 assists that continue to indicate that indeed something has changed on offense compared to that of the previous season.
Washington finished the first quarter with a 36:41 lead after Bill's excellent minutes and 5 points from Abdia, but until the break Dallas turned the game around and led 61:69.
Towards the end of the third quarter Abdia penetrated in front of Luka Doncic and finished easily in the basket area on the way to his 7 points.
In the last quarter, the Wizards were already back from a 6-point deficit when Kozma with a 1:34 three-pointer raised the Wizards to a 112: 109 lead. For two points, but it was too late for the hosts.
