The game was marked by several lead changes and both teams were tied eight times, indicating how evenly matched they were throughout the contest. The Wizards managed to take control with their sharpshooting from beyond the arc, converting 40 percent of their three-point attempts into valuable points. Their accuracy from distance was complemented by an impressive field goal percentage of 50 percent overall.


The home team's bench made significant contributions as well, adding 42 points to their total score. This depth proved crucial in outlasting the Nets' efforts. Washington also demonstrated efficiency on both ends of the court with an offensive rating of 118 and a defensive rating just shy of 110.


One standout statistic for the Wizards was their assists-turnover ratio which stood at an impressive figure of approximately five assists for every turnover committed – showcasing their careful ball handling and teamwork throughout this matchup.


On defense, Washington managed to block five shots and steal possession another five times from Brooklyn players. These defensive efforts helped them maintain a slight edge in possession time over their opponents.


The Brooklyn Nets did not go down without a fight though; they led for nearly half an hour during game time and had moments where they looked poised to take control. They dominated inside scoring fifty points in paint but struggled with free throws making only sixty-three percent compared to their usual standards.
