A few hours after his former team, Maccabi Tel Aviv, dropped a 12-point lead in the last quarter of the derby and lost to Hapoel Tel Aviv, Danny Abdia was a partner in restoring the yellow losers, when Washington lost the same lead five minutes to the end against San Antonio and lost 131:127.

It was a meeting between two of the weakest teams in the NBA this season.
A balance sheet at the end of the game says it all.
The Wizards went down to 34:7, the Spurs went up a little to 34:8.
Wes Anseld Jr.'s team kicked the bucket with an embarrassing display of lack of character, just days after losing to the worst of them all, the Detroit Pistons.
Abdia did his thing.
He scored 16 points with a good percentage (7 of 11), pulled down 7 rebounds, distributed 4 assists and stole 1 ball.
He also recorded a single turnover in 32 minutes.
Jordan Paul and Corey Kispert also scored 16 points each, and the one who led Washington was Marvin Bagley with 21 points and 12 rebounds.

In front of him stood the alien, Victor Vumbanyama, who for long minutes was guarded by Abdia.
Vombi's numbers: 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 blocks, no less.
You decide for yourself how successful the Israeli forward was in this defensive task, which sometimes seems impossible.
The next task for the Wizards, who suffered their ninth loss in ten games, includes a meeting with Nikola Jokic and the defending champion Denver Nuggets.
Surprise of the season?
Don't count on it.
