Danny Abdia after Washington's loss to Toronto (from the Wizards' Twitter account)
By nightfall (Friday through Saturday), Danny Abdia seemed to be starting to get back on the offensive side.

Although this shooting ability disappeared against Golden State, when the rookie finished with only 2 points (0 from 6 from the field, 0 from 3 to 3, 2 from 4 from the line), but at the end of Washington's victory over Golden State, the United States mainly dealt during The one successful one he did.
A second to the end, the Warriors were given a chance to take the lead in part, with Raymond Green finding his imagination right under the basket, but the 20-year-old Israeli stopped him with a big defensive move.
Bradley Bill who went up in money time was sent to the line, scored twice, Stephen Kerry missed the final three-pointer attempt, and the Wizards survived with a dramatic 107: 110.

"It was a big move, without it we probably would not have had a chance to close out this game. He was very attentive to the situation, a very good move of his," Scott Brooks complimented Abdia's defensive moment.
Asked what Abdia can contribute even on nights when he is not scoring, the coach said: "Danny is a strong boy, I do not think he also understands how strong he is and how fast he can run. When he has more experience he will understand it. He takes very high rebounds. And that's great, because he's playing fearlessly in the ring. We need players to help with the rebound and he gives it to us. His shot will keep getting better, I'm not worried about the threes because he's working on it, he's doing everything right. There he will improve. "
Roy Hachimura added: "Danny's big move, we had a communication problem with a spare on defense and Danny was able to get there. It definitely helped us win."
Robin Lopez said of the Israeli: "He is like one of our chins, a chin of honor. It was a big block, he appeared when we needed him and I hope he will continue like this."
"A move that saved the game in the ring," tweeted American journalist Fred Katz of Athletic.
"Athletic" teammate Ben Sandteng joked and tweeted: "Danny Motobo with the block at the last second. What an end."
Chase Hughes of NBC added: "Danny's huge defensive move, defending the ring in front of Imagination Lee. Danny seems to have decided to hand him the ball, and he lost."
Former player Drew Gooden, who serves as a commentator at the Washington Games, said: "Wow, a great defensive call. Lee missed, it was a great move from Golden State, but Danny saved at the last second. A huge move."

But with all due respect to Abdia, it was Bradley Bill's night.
In his second game after returning from injury the Washington star struggled and scored his first point towards the end of the first half.
In the end, he scored 6 of his 20 points in the last 30 seconds, including a huge three-pointer and a foul, which gave the Wizards the lead with 6 seconds left.
“A great shot from a great player,” Brooks said.
"Our team said he had some back pain. I asked him every two minutes what his condition was. It's great that he came back to us."
On Robin Lopez, who continued his good period, the coach said: "He is perfect for our team and perfect for our guards. Russell and Brad want our players to be excellent, we have young players who need to push them and Robin helps them with that."
The star himself added: "It's great. When you have a bad game and things don't work for you, you look for something to sing it. It was definitely a special moment for me. My back hurt and it limited me from doing things I wanted to do, I thought it was cramps. I told the team to let me To end this game, and tomorrow we will take care of tomorrow. "
On the victory itself and the recent period of the Wizards, Bill said: "Danny Abdia is constantly evolving, we need all our squad players. We are starting to connect and I hope we will continue to get better with each and every game."
