Washington Wizards players train ahead of game against Orlando (from Washington's Twitter)
"Washington's ugly victory symbolizes its new direction," it was written this morning (Sunday) in Washington after the Wizards defeated Miami 100: 103 in a game that included quite a few tough fights and an impressive comeback, despite not-so-brilliant ability.
Washington was already 16 points behind, in the second quarter it scored just 15 points, scored below 40 percent from the field in the first half and suffered 20 turnovers, and still found a way to win.
"This win shows our toughness," said Spencer Dinwidi, who also knows this year Washington is a different, more belligerent, rather than offensive and wild team that scores 120 points per game and absorbs much more, "We keep defining it as our goal, our defense. Suitable for tough playoff basketball. "

Almost everyone who spoke to the team after the game used the word "ugly" to describe the victory, but the goal was achieved. Miami, which is ranked ninth in the league in percentage of threes, this time settled for 7 of 27 across the arc (25.9 percent) and 0 of 5 of the three in the final quarter.
In addition, after the Wizards scored just 41 points in the first half, in the second they have already scored 62 points, with Dinvidi and Cantabius Caldwell Pop recovering from a faltering start and in the fourth quarter each scoring 10 points. "It says a lot about us," coach Wes Ansald Jr. said.
Washington, who added quite a few players this summer and appointed a new coach, continues to connect, and for Bradley Bill, "The only thing that matters is winning games, and as long as it happens and the winning streak goes up, who cares how? We make it work. Tonight it was ugly ... Not perfect, ugly, but we found a way to win,And we love it. "

Danny Abdia, as is well known, is also valued defensively, and tonight again in his minutes on the pitch is required to keep the rival star. He once again got a little entangled in the offense problem, so one can understand why the Israeli was so furious when an offense was whistled against him for what looked like a clean roof over Jimmy Butler, a Miami star. Abdia reacted in frustration and slammed the ball into the parquet, absorbing technically. Bradley Bill and Caldwell Paul reassured him, but liked to see his passion and commitment, while Butler shouted at him a few words in typical trash talk. Abdia finished with 8 points (3 of 7 from the field, 0 of 1 from three, 2 of 2 from the line), 5 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal.
The Wizards climbed to a 5:11 balance, with the fifth-best defense in the league (104.0 points) and the 17th-largest offense (106.8 points). Bill admits: "We want to be a defensive team, and be fed up with it. We are very diverse in a lot of exams, but most of all, the first thing we aim for is defensive stops."
"We knew how tough they were, and they sent us a message in the previous game, were more physical, told us we were soft, and we took it personally and we were very physical," said the doubtful Bill, "it was a great defensive effort. We feel the Washington magic, and we Come on, it's coming. "
