The Washington Wizards and Danny Abdia achieved their biggest win so far this season (Monday to Tuesday) this season, after defeating the Phoenix Suns at home 107: 128, one of the best teams in the league so far (4: 8 balance).
After the show against the Miami Heat (20 points) in the last game, Abdia this time recorded a restrained game of 6 points (3/6 from the field), 5 rebounds and one assist in about 20 minutes of play.
But precisely against the backdrop of reports that coach Scott Brooks will be sacked - and without Russell Westbrook (back thigh muscle injury) and opening chin Thomas Bryant (finished off following a knee injury) - Abdia's teammates have shown tremendous ability, this time on defense as well.
Washington, who won after three straight losses and went up to an 8: 3 balance, dominated the game from the first quarter and at the end led 15:29.
Abdia went down to the bench after about nine minutes, with the score standing at 10:16 in favor of the host.
Devin Booker, the Suns' big star, got into trouble with two fouls early in the game and went down to the bench.
The morning game ended the game with 33 points.
The Wizards' big escape came in the second quarter.
Enormous minutes, led by the Latvian Davis Bartans (15 points in 5/6 of the three in the second quarter, 18 points and 6/9 of the three total) arranged a 0:14 run and an advantage that grew to 32 points.
Washington finished the half with a 26-point lead, 42:68.
By comparison, in the last game against the Heat, Washington, which has the worst defense in the league, absorbed 47 points in just the first quarter.
The trend continued even after the break, with Bradley Bill with another great game taking care to maintain the promising gap with 17 points in the quarter, and 34 total in the game (12/22 from the field).
Bill almost completed a triple-double after adding 8 rebounds and 9 assists.
78: 104 to Washington at the end of the third quarter.
In the decisive quarter the host took her foot off the gas a bit, allowing the Suns, to go down to a 21-point deficit (126: 105) with about five minutes left, and to cause except for a heartbeat to Brooks coach.
But Washington reset, scored again, and in the end achieved a great 107: 128.
First home win of the season after five losses.
The next game of Washington, whose six players scored in double digits, will be on the night between Wednesday and Thursday (02:00 Israel time) when it will host the Detroit Pistons.
