The Washington Wizards have brought home a victory against the San Antonio Spurs to end their losing streak at the away location of their opponent. The last time the Wizards won a match was on December 11, 1999. The current victory is backed by the final tally of 127–106. The Wizards have now won six consecutive games. Another victory and seven wins will be in their names to equal the record of the franchise.
Also, the Wizards have entered the ninth spot in the Eastern Conference. Winning 3.5 games more will confirm a spot in the top six teams. The win has broken the losing streak of 22 games in the last 8,451 days, with the assumption that at least one game was played there every season.
Deni Avdija recorded his career-best figure of 25 points, followed by a perfect combined performance put up by Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis. Their combined score comes to 30 points. In terms of rebounds and assists, the numbers stand at 16 and 14, respectively.
The last time the Wizards defeated the Spurs was on December 11, 1999 at San Antonio. Mitch Richmond displayed an outstanding understanding of the game and went on to score 31 points for a 99-89 win. In addition, Mitch secured 4 boards and 5 assists for his team. Little was known about the fact that their next victory would not arrive for quite some time.
All four quarters were filled with ups and downs, and there was no surety where the game would ultimately land. NBA betting sites showed their fair share of probabilities until the Wizards outperformed their competitors in the last quarter. The visitors were able to score 29 points against 19 for the hosts. A difference of 10 points made everything possible for the Wizards.
Given that they had a relatively slow start in the first quarter, the following quarters came to their aid with either a small or a large margin.
Only a minus-six gap was seen in the first quarter when the Wizards fell short at 30 points. Since then, everything has gone up, especially in the second and fourth quarters, where the Spurs seemed to have no defense for their attack.
Keldon Johnson secured 26 points, followed by Jeremy Sochan with 17 points. The Wizards, on the other hand, saw Kyle Kuzma bring 16 points to the table alongside Corey Kispert, who pocketed 14 points. It was rather a team effort since most of them could contribute to the victory at the AT&T Center.
Their next game is with the Detroit Pistons, who have, so far, registered one of the worst performances in the East. It should be an easy win to add another victory for the Wizards, bringing them to par with the third-best winning streak for the franchise.
