Washington Wizards Selling: Dedication Hats by Danny Avdia/washwizardsil
Washington returned tonight (between Tuesday and Wednesday) to Sura, when it surrendered 109:97 to Memphis after another weak and disappointing game.
Washington, which came after two wins and dreamed of achieving three consecutive wins for the first time this season, fell behind from the very first moment, going into the break trailing by 25 points, and although it recovered a little in the second half, it ended up losing to one of the weakest teams in the West, which played with an understaffed team.
The Wizards dropped to 54:11, and following the loss they are also ranked below Detroit, with the worst record in the league.

Danny Avdia continued to provide solid numbers, as he finished with 16 points in 36 minutes, and the seventh game in a row with a double-digit number of points.
The Israeli scored 6 of 10 from the field, with most of his points under the basket, while from outside he finished with 0 of 3 from the three, and another 4 of 7 from the penalty box.
This time Avdia did not particularly stand out in rebounding when he finished with only 4 rebounds, added 3 turnovers against 1 assist, and in general failed to stand out against the background of the weakness of his teammates.
"I take it upon myself," said Washington coach Brian Keefe, "I failed to prepare this group to play from the very first moment. We were not ready for the game."

On the other hand, Kyle Kuzma scored 24 points and added 7 rebounds and 5 assists for Washington, Corey Kispert scored 22, Jordan Paul again failed to provide a contribution from the bench when he scored 10 points, including a move that went into the "highlight", when he tried to line up Halli-Hope to Kuzma in a burst in a pass that turned into a shlomial move, and a small is very.
