Danny Abdia took advantage of the rest Bradley Bill received to return to Washington's quintet tonight (Saturday through Sunday).

Unfortunately, his team recorded a fifth loss in its last six games - this time 121: 115 to Milwaukee, and is now ranked 13th in the East with a 23:14 balance, three and a half games away from Atlanta in eighth place.



The Israeli rookie who returned to the top five for the first time since February 7 received 35 minutes from Scott Brooks - the highest number of minutes since December 28 - and responded with 9 points (4 from 10 from the field, 1 from 6 to 3), 4 rebounds, an assist , Kidnapping, blocking and losing, but also with five offenses - one of them is crucial.

32.9 seconds to go, in a 119: 119 situation, Abdia sent a hand when Chris Middleton went up for a shot, the referees ordered Paul and the Milwaukee star went to the line to score twice.



"Danny grew up tonight," Brooks said.

"It was a hard whistle there at the end, but it was an Allstar he kept at the end and sometimes your hand is perceived that way. I didn't think to challenge that move because I needed a timeout and thought I saw a touch. Danny and Roy grew up tonight."

Another not-so-simple night.

Most of Brooks' frustration was directed at the judging panel at the conclusion.

Aside from Abdia’s move, there were two more dubious moves at the last minute: once the Washington coach claimed an offense was committed on Russell Westbrook, another time the Wizards tried to commit an offense on Yannis Antocompo to send him to the line, but again the referees did not respond.

Only when the ball came to Middleton again - an excellent penalty shot unlike the Greek - did Abdia's offense come, as it was burned.



"We committed an offense, but for some reason they did not want to whistle," Brooks said. "Two players touched Yannis, two players pushed him before he released the ball. It's Paul. On the other side there was an offense on Russell, he missed a layup that would have drawn. It was "Offense - they both committed an offense and we committed an offense, in both cases the judges did not whistle. We lost, they defeated us on the side, but these were two big moves."

The highest number of minutes in two and a half months.

For Abdia it was the second game in a row in which he committed five fouls - due to Achilles in his young NBA career.

On average, the young Israeli is ranked 22nd in the league with 0.12, and with a weighted 36-minute offense, he is 27th in the league, with 4.2, and first in Washington.

Brooks has previously referred to this as one of the reasons for the drop in Abdia’s game minutes.



"We played hard," said Westbrook, who finished with 42 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. "When you play hard you give yourself a chance to win the game. We did it from the beginning."
