In a high-scoring affair at the Chase Center, the Washington Wizards' record now stands at 5-23 after a defeat with a final score of 129-118 against the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors improved their season to an even 14-14.
The Wizards came out strong in the first quarter, putting up 25 points but trailed by three as the Warriors secured 28. Momentum shifted in the second quarter when Washington outscored Golden State by one point, tallying an impressive 36 points. However, it was during the third quarter where the Wizards faced challenges, adding only 22 points to their total while Golden State surged ahead with a commanding 38 points. In a resilient effort during the final period, Washington managed to rack up another substantial sum of 35 points but couldn't overcome Golden State's consistent scoring which added another 28.
Washington's offense was led by dynamic plays and effective teamwork that resulted in them amassing an assist total of 25 for the game. Their bench contributed significantly with half-century mark bench points and they capitalized on fast-break opportunities scoring an impressive total of 23 fast break points from their attempts.
Defensively though, there were struggles as they allowed Golden State to achieve a field goal percentage of nearly fifty percent and beyond-the-arc shooting at forty percent. The home team also dominated rebounds with a total rebound count of sixty-four compared to Washington's forty-seven.
Despite these challenges, individual performances on Washington's side were noteworthy; they shot over fifty percent from two-point range and nearly eighty percent from free throw line which kept them within striking distance throughout most of this matchup.
