Leading this offensive barrage was Klay Thompson with 23 points, supported by Olivier-Maxence Prosper who added 20 points to the scoreboard. P.J. Washington also made significant contributions with 19 points and nine rebounds, highlighting his versatility and importance to the team's success.


Dallas's ability to distribute the ball effectively was evident in their total of 39 assists for the game, showcasing a cohesive team effort that kept the Wizards' defense off balance throughout.

Wizards Struggle to Keep Pace


On the other side of the court, despite putting up a valiant effort and scoring more efficiently in later quarters, Washington could not overcome Dallas's lead or match their offensive output. The Wizards managed to shoot only 42 percent from field goals and were less effective from three-point range at just 30 percent accuracy.


Their bench contributed significantly with 63 points but it wasn't enough to challenge Dallas's dominance during any phase of play. Notably lacking was their ability to control possession as they turned over the ball eleven times compared to Dallas’s twelve turnovers which had less impact due to higher efficiency scoring from play.
