Washington left tonight (between Thursday and Friday) for the All-Star break in style, beating the Wolves 106:114 in Minnesota after erasing a 20-point deficit en route to an impressive comeback.
Bradley Beal scored 13 of his 35 points in the final 4:30 minutes of the game to lead the Wizards to a second straight win that improved their record to 30-28 and placed the team in ninth place in the Eastern Conference.
The Wizards have won 10 of their last 14 games.
Danny Avdia again showed good ability and finished with 10 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
The Israeli shot only 3 of 8 from the field (including 0 of 1 from three, and 4 of 5 from the penalty), but in the plus-minus balance in his minutes on the field, Washington was at +12, and he was part of his team's comeback.
Trailing 87:69 in the third quarter, Avdia scored 7 points in a beautiful 0:9 run by the guests, including a powerful dunk and a basket move and a foul, and helped the guests erase the deficit.
Won 10 of the last 14.
