Is that why Bradley Bill got a rest? Without their biggest star, Washington and Danny Abdia hosted the New York Knicks tonight (Friday through Saturday), defeating 109: 91 en route to a 17: 6 balance. Abdia again came off the bench, played 22 minutes and recorded 8 points (3 of 9 from the field, 1 of 5 from three, 1 from 2 from the line), six rebounds and two losses.
Russell Westbrook had a chance to prove he could still carry a team when he’s the only star on the floor, but instead of that happening, Washington was busy missing Bill most of the game, and Russell went down to a shocking 14: 2 personal balance this season.

Something bad is going on about Washington’s offensive game in recent games. For the first time since 2012, the team from the capital counts five consecutive games in which it scores below 30% off the arc. Facing the tough bunch of Tom Thibido, she was stopped at 26.5% from three. Westbrook finished with 0 of 4 from that range, and Davis Bartans who came up with a five in place of Abdia scored just 2 of 6.
