We saw a really selfless and talented team in the first half last night – we scored 68 points – our best offensive output of the season. We were shooting more than 55 percent. The ball was moving; the shots were falling; the spacing on the floor seemed right.
In the second half – we came out and played in a one on one fashion. We slowed the ball down; we didn’t respond to Sacramento’s push and we end up losing a winnable game – sad to say- 115 to 107.
It is often the little things too that are highlighted in a loss; take a look at the free throw percentages here – The Kings were 25 for 27 from the foul line; the Wizards were 16 for 27. A 9 point swing in points from the foul line with the same amount of shots taken; we lose the game by 8 points.
The team needs a break; we enter the All Star game related days off knowing we have a lot of work to do to continue to show progress. Thank you for showing support of the team at the game last night – we are all really appreciative of your turning out in big numbers for the game. Thank you again.
