At Ball Arena, the Washington Wizards were unable to secure a win despite a valiant effort. The team's performance was highlighted by their ability to sink three-pointers at an impressive rate of 45 percent, converting 17 out of 38 attempts from beyond the arc. The Wizards also showcased their playmaking skills with a total of 30 assists throughout the game.
