Washington Wizards Set to Battle Phoenix Suns at Footprint Center

As the Washington Wizards prepare to face off against the Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center, fans can anticipate an intriguing matchup. The Wizards have shown a recent uptick in their performance, despite a challenging season. In their last game at Capital One Arena, they secured a victory over the Pacers with an impressive 137 points, showcasing a strong offensive display with a 56 percent field goal percentage and converting nearly half of their three-point attempts.

This win was much needed for the Wizards who have struggled throughout the season, holding a record of just 4 wins to 20 losses prior to that game. However, this victory demonstrated what the team is capable of when firing on all cylinders – particularly from beyond the arc and in transition where they scored 26 fast break points.


The team's efficiency was also on display as they managed an assist-to-turnover ratio above two and outrebounded their opponents significantly. Defensively though, there is room for improvement; despite winning their last game, they allowed over 120 points which has been indicative of their defensive struggles this season.


The venue could play a role in this upcoming contest. The Footprint Center is known for its vibrant atmosphere which could energize both teams but particularly bolster the home side – Phoenix Suns. The Wizards will need to maintain focus amidst this environment and look to replicate some of their recent offensive success while tightening up defensively if they hope to come away with another win.


Fans can catch all the action on December 18th at 1:00 AM UTC (December 17th local time). The game will be broadcasted on AZFamily network for home viewers and MNMT2 channel number 642-1 for those supporting from afar.
