Washington Wizards players train ahead of game against Orlando (from Washington's Twitter)
The Washington Wizards are still at the top of the East, but their winning streak came to a halt tonight (Wednesday-Thursday) after five games following a 97-87 loss to Charlotte Hornets, which in turn recorded its seventh straight victory.
Abdia, after the impressive double-double in the win over the New Orleans Pelicans, partnered 25 minutes tonight and while scoring 9 points and picking up 11 rebounds, he scored only 2 of 9 from the field (22 percent) and only 1 of 7 from the three (14 percent), and also Blocked twice in a second, during which it quickly went viral.
By the way, this is the first time in Abdia's NBA career that he was sent to the penalty line four times and scored all the shots.

Abdia made a name for himself this season as one of the dominant defensive players and also picked up 11 rebounds which is his record in the NBA, but other than that he had a hard time tonight in Charlotte and not only his attempts to score were in vain but also on the defensive side things worked less well than previous games.
Evidence, when the Israeli was on the floor Washington scored 46 points in total compared to 56 scored by the Hornets, while when sitting on the bench each team scored 41 points.
Despite the numbers, the Wizards' reporters appreciate Abdia's improvement and especially the taking responsibility in recent games from which big star Bradley Bill has been absent, who tonight should be noted back on the floor: When Lavdia had 5 points, 5 rebounds and a block, "In addition to the defensive game, he is also a strong player on the offensive and demonstrates aggression."
Journalist Chase Hughes added in a tweet of his own: "These moves show how much of his potential is also in the attack and how much he is not realized. It is not normal for a player at his height."

By the way, a new duo that has managed to excite Wizards fans is the loss of Monterz Harrell, who also tonight provided a number of nice moves together.
"It's not sexy, it's not always numbers that appear in the statistics, these are moves of hard work, but an effort that pays off," Quinton Mayo wrote of one of the moves that ended in the Israeli's layup after Harel's work.
In all, in the 67 joint minutes this season on the parquet of Abdia, Earl and Corey Kispert, the Wizards have a 39-point advantage over opposing teams.
Even before the game, Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonis was interviewed and when asked about his Israeli ability, he replied: "I am a die-hard fan of Danny Abdia. It is hard to believe he is only 20. Danny plays very mature and diverse. He is tough, old-school and very easy to train." .
