I want to believe. The Wizards entered last night’s game at the Orlando Magic ranked 10th in defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions). They then put the Magic into a figurative chokehold — limiting Orlando to 28.2% three-point shooting…
The Washington Wizards defeated the Orlando Magic while holding them to 94 total points, including a dominant third quarter where Orlando scored just nine points. Anthony Davis led Washington with 27 points and nine rebounds, while Kyshawn George contributed 22 points and AJ Dybantsa added 21 points to advance the team's record to 4-3.
Kevin Broom notes that Washington achieved the defensive performance without Alex Sarr and Justin Champagnie, who were sidelined with injuries. While praising the roster's active defensive effort under head coach Brian Keefe, Broom cautions that Washington's current defensive success may be partly driven by unsustainable opponent three-point shooting luck.
