Danny Abdia after Washington's loss to Toronto (from the Wizards' Twitter account)

Washington's four-game losing streak came to an end tonight (Wednesday-Thursday) at the expense of one of the league's weakest teams, and Danny Abdia was a full partner in that.

The young Israeli scored 16 points - the most in his NBA career since the 20 points he scored against Miami about three months ago - and helped the Wizards defeat Orlando 116: 131.

Abdia, who kept his place in the quintet, went up to the floor with the words "Yizkor" on the shoes, to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The rookie got 30 minutes, found his hand off the arc again with four successful threes (the most since that game against Miami) in seven attempts and also added 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 0 turnovers.

On the Road also provided the best plus-minus index in the group (+19).

This is a very encouraging game for Abdia, who has played 30 minutes or more in all of his last six games and seems to have restored his status in the Scott Brooks rotation.

The Israeli scored in double digits in four of these six games and threw at least four threes in five of them, against the background of the criticisms heard against him from the team.

After a close first quarter, the Wizards escaped a double-digit advantage in the second quarter, in which the Israeli sniped two threes (including one right on the buzzer), and no longer looked back at the weak Magic who completely dismantled their team towards the end of trades, and since then mostly losers.

Bradley Bill who returned from a five-game absence due to injury led with 26 points, Russell Westbrook provided a fifth triple double in his last six games and 20 this season with 23 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists, and also Davis Bartans (22 points) Robin Lopez (19 points ) Scored in double digits.

Washington as a whole was more efficient than usual on offense with 19 threes (a season-high) at 52 percent from outside the arc, delivering 35 assists and losing just 13 balls.

In two days, a much bigger hurdle awaits her, when she will be hosted by Golden State.

Beauty of a game.

The Magic were led by Terence Ross with 24 points, Mo Bamba added 19 and Wendell Carter 15. After the win, Washington is ranked 13th in the East, six games away from New York in eighth place and 3.5 games from Chicago in tenth place, leading to the playoffs.
