didn't think I'd see a 16 point swing in the third.  pleasantly surprised

[esel1000]

Smart, so strong. You cannot strip that.

That's the game he needs to play... none of this 3 pt nonsense unless it's a really good look

[Ilikesports17]

Smarts FT percentage seems to be returning to normal.

Can't believei'm saying this, too many passes.

It's the lack of off ball movement. Passes are useless if they're from one guy standing still to another . You need some movement by either the ball handler or off ball players, and we haven't had much of either

Yeah, the ball movement has been great, but it's largely been on the perimeter rather than inside-out, which is where you get the defense out of position moving vertically on the court rather than horizontally.

Wall and Beal taking turns doing damage the to Nets in the 4th.

114-109 Wizards with 1:45 to go.

[Neurotic Guy]

YOU gotta feel for the Nets. That GM really dealt them a tough hand.

Hope they lose tonight. Down 6 now with 2 minutes to go.

[Ogaju]

wizards up by 5 with the ball

[Denis998]

Has Smart reverted back to his old 3 point shot? It looks like the dip is back.

[jpotter33]

C's playing some C's defense this quarter!

Love the defense this quarter

Best defensive game so far this year. However, it's no surprise with how perimeter-oriented this team is. That's our MO.

Make sense .  Thanks for the teaching.

[Ogaju]

Lopez gifted two free throws, with WA up 5.

[Neurotic Guy]

Philly loses but Dallas leads by 2 (at the half).

[Ilikesports17]

Cleveland beating Toronto by 12 with under 5 to go. If that result along with this game stands wed be a game out of second with a home game vs the Raptors on Friday.

[Ogaju]

3 point lead for US.

[Ogaju]

3 POINT LEAD US
