On the other end, they are holding opponents to an average of 106.6 points per game, on 45.1 percent shooting.

Meanwhile, this marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Wizards (14-10), as they are coming off a rough loss in Toronto on Sunday evening. The Wizards fell behind early in the contest and trailed, 23-12, after one quarter. They could not find any answers in the second, while the deficit grew to 21 points by halftime. They came out stronger in the third and managed to trim it to a 16-point game, heading into the fourth.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope led the Wizards with 26 points on 8-of-9 shooting, including 4-of-4 from long range. Bradley Beal added 14 points and seven assists, while Montrezl Harrell totaled six points, 14 rebounds, two assists and a block. The Wizards will look to bounce back from the loss, as they face the second game of a three-game road trip, with the hope of building on their, 6-7, road record.
