Donovan Mitchell celebrates his 71-point game against Chicago (from the official Twitter account of the Cleveland Cavaliers)
Precisely after being seen on the way up with five consecutive victories, it seems that the Washington Wizards are returning to Sura.
Tonight (Friday to Saturday), Danny Avdia's team was defeated 127:110 by the Oklahoma City Thunder and fell to a 23:17 record with their second straight loss, while the winner went to 22:17.
The Israeli forward came off the bench as has happened in the last few games, but this time he settled for 4 points in only 17 minutes.
The team from the capital came to the meeting without Bradley Bill, who will be absent in the coming week, and fell apart already in the first quarter that ended at 17:35 for the locals.
During this quarter, Avdia scored his only field goal, which narrowed the score to 25:13 with an assist from Kyle Kuzma.
The momentum didn't stop in the second quarter either, and the Thunder, who just this week stunned when they defeated Boston and scored 150 points, went into the break with a promising 42:68 lead.
Avdia came off the bench again five minutes into the second half, was unable to help the guest narrow the gap, and after resting for most of the fourth quarter which was only for the record, he added a minute to the end from the penalty line for his last two points and the entire game.
The Israeli took only two shots from the field and scored one of them (the miss was from three), and in addition collected 3 rebounds.
He did not hand out assists, blocks or steals, lost two balls and was minus 11 in his minutes on the court.
Kyle Kuzma was the only one to perform with 23 points, while Shea Giljos Alexander, who is expected to be selected this year for the first time as an All-Star, was on the other hand with 30 points.
Junior Josh Giddy added 20 points and 9 assists.
Now the Wizards get two days of rest, and on the night between Monday and Tuesday they will host the New Orleans Pelicans.
