Brian Keefe achieved his first victory tonight (Saturday) as coach of the Washington Wizards.
It was indeed against the Detroit Pistons, the weakest team in the league, but for Washington - every win this season is an achievement.
Still, she only has eight of them.
Danny Avdia scored 10 points and played 24 minutes, a little less than his average (28 minutes).
The team received compliments for the defensive play and lost for the defense against the star of Detroit, Cade Cunningham, who did score 20 points but dropped seven balls.

Reporter Kevin Foyle claimed: "The defense was really good in the second half."
He complimented Kuzma, who scored 30 points, "He warmed up in the fourth quarter," and claimed: "Danny locked up Cade on defense."
The coach was also satisfied: "It's obviously a lot of fun, and the best part is the way we played defense," Keefe said.
"Two days ago we talked about how we need to become a better defensive team, and we did a good job today. There is still a long way to go, but these are the habits we have to build."
The fans don't really miss coach Wes Anseld Jr.: "2 games without Wes and we've already shown that we can not only hold an advantage in the fourth quarter, but build it. I don't care if it's Detroit, it feels so good."
