How much Danny Abdia and Washington have been waiting for this moment.
After five consecutive losses that put the team from the capital under a lot of pressure, the explosion finally arrived.
The Wizards provided a great 109: 130 tonight (Friday through Saturday) in Minnesota, in a pretty impressive offensive display - despite the absence of Russell Westbrook getting a rest.
In his absence, the attack seemed more balanced and continuous (16 threes, 35 assists on 16 turnovers), and the young Israeli was one of the biggest gainers.
Abdia got 27 minutes (second only to Bradley Bill) and responded with 11 points (3 from 5 to 3), 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and a single loss, while setting the highest plus-minus index in the team (+32) .
"We needed this first win for our safety, I think we are a great team," the enthusiastic Abdia said at the end.
"I'm super-positive about ourselves. Remember what I're saying - we're going to be good, we just need to understand a few things. We need to play stronger on defense. When we play simple, and we play defense, we're very good.
Abdia, who was a partner in a 14:40 third quarter by Washington, which closed out interest and turned Minnesota's loss into a defeat, added: "The fans need to be calm, the players too, everyone needs patience. We are excellent players, if you sit in the locker room and look around, "There is great talent here. Sometimes it takes time to understand things, you can't expect the magic to happen on the first day. In the end we know ourselves, we know we are good."

The biggest compliments to Abdia came from Bradley Bill, who starred with 31 points and was the one who cooled the enthusiasm for the young Israeli this week.
This time he sounds completely different: "He's constantly learning. When he got here, we were told he would ask a million questions. Danny asks a lot, but it's great because he constantly wants to learn. He wants to get better. He wants to play. It's amazing to see how determined He's on the floor, no one takes him out of his flush, nothing really bothers him. Sometimes he's asked something, because the game goes a little too fast for him, but for the most part he's above and beyond what we expected from him, by and large.
"He shows sparks of abilities Diversified, he scored an excellent three-pointer, probably having the highest percentage on our team right now.
But he just does what Danny does well - nothing beyond that.
He's playing basketball right.
He uses his body well.
It's amazing, for Rocky, he has very, very professional skills.
He's probably been playing as a pro since he was 12. "
