Beaten 139-130 at the AT&T Center in San Antonio on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, the club from the American capital recorded a sixth consecutive loss. Since October 31, the date of his last success (133-120 against Atlanta), and before stumbling against the Spurs, he admitted defeat by the Miami Heat (98-118), the Golden State Warriors (112- 125), in Memphis by the Grizzlies (128-104) in Orlando against the Magic (121-94) and in Houston against the Rockets (107-92).
Record for Wembanyama
In the Spurs den, the team coached by Brian Keefe tasted the medicine of Victor Wembanyama who flooded the side with his talent. The Frenchman scored 50 points during the 32 minutes spent on the floor, a production synonymous with a personal best. For the record, San Antonio’s second highest point scorer was Devin Vassell (17).
In this context, Washington was an illusion until halftime (67-67) before cracking in the third quarter during which it was devoured by its opponents (41-24).
12 points for George
Aligned for 32 minutes, Kyshawn George added 12 points to his record. The former BBC Monthey junior was also credited with five assists and three rebounds.
In the Eastern Conference standings, Washington is in 13th place (out of 15 teams) with an intermediate record of two wins and eight losses, far from the standards of the Cleveland Cavaliers (winners in Philadelphia 106-114), leaders with an immaculate record ( 13 outings, 13 victories).
The Wizards will try to end their negative series on Saturday from 1:30 a.m. (Swiss time) when they will face the Atlanta Hawks, the team of Genevan Clint Capela, in Georgia.
