The Washington Wizards and Danny Abdia suffered a second consecutive loss early in the morning (Saturday night) since returning from an All-Star deficit when they were defeated at home 127: 101 by the Philadelphia Sixers, and slipped to a 22:14 balance.
After scoring in double-figures in the loss game to the Memphis Grizzlies, the Israeli this time settled for only 4 points (2/6 from the field) in 28 minutes of play.
Abdia also added 5 rebounds and one assist.
The visitors, who climbed to a 12:26 balance, managed another game without one of its two stars, Ben Simmons - who was absent due to the league’s Corona protocol - and recorded a second straight win since returning from the All-Star retreat.
Philadelphia's second star, Joel Ambide, returned to the floor after also missing the last game due to the Corona protocol, but injured his knee in the third quarter and did not return when the injury was caught on TV cameras and looked bad.
However, Ambide reassured those around him and said he was fine.
The best chin in the league managed to score 23 points and take down 7 rebounds before going down to the locker rooms.
As for the game, the Sickers dominated from the first quarter leading to a 15:32 lead, with Washington looking just awful on offense.
Until the half the visitors recovered a bit, and went down to the break with a lag of 63:53.
Ambide came off the field with a 60:80 advantage, but that did not stop the Sixers from sailing to victory, as the gap had already reached 32 points.
101: 127 at the end.
Bradley Bill, Washington's greatest scorer this season, has dropped from just 20 points for the second time since the league opened, scoring 19 points (8/13) from the field in his mediocre evening.
Russell Westbrook finished with 25 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, with quite a few of the points coming in Garbage Time.
Washington also lost a player due to injury, after Latvian Davis Bartans came off the floor in the first half following a hamstring injury.
Washington will have to pick itself up quickly, as already tonight (02:00 AM Israel time) will host Milwaukee Bucks and Yannis Antocompo at the Capital 1 Arena.
