Danny Abdia’s bad era continues. The Wizards returned tonight (Saturday to Sunday) to the United States capital after a successful trip to the West, achieving a seventh win in eight games with 112: 128 over weak Minnesota. Abdia came off the bench, played 21 minutes and scored 2 points (1 of 6 from the field), two rebounds and a block on Carl Anthony Towns.
As with all of Washington’s recent victories, the heroes of the evening were team stars Bradley Bill and Russell Westbrook. Bill continued his outstanding season with 34 points on 52% from the field, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, while Westbrook provided the tenth triple double of the season (leading the NBA) with 19 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists. .

The table lock in the West managed to keep up with the Wizards, until it ran out of air in the third quarter. Bill, who did not start the game well, rose sharply to the second half and won the team’s offensive game from the capital. The All-Star provided a quick contribution of 17 points and 4 assists en route to 29:44 in the quarter, an advantage of 17 points towards the final 12 minutes. Davis Bartans was also great in the third quarter, sniping four threes.
The Wolves tried to impress their new coach Chris Finch with a comeback in the closing minutes, but Washington did not let that happen thanks to improved ability from three. Brooks’ side opened the game with 2 of 16 from outside the arc, but finished it with 11 of 17 that left Timberwolves no chance.
For the Wizards (18:13 balance), 2.5 games away from fourth place in the East, Garrison Matthews was the X Factor with 18 points and nine rebounds. The Bartans finished with 19 and Mo Wagner contributed 12. On the other hand, Towns’ good ability (23 points and 11 rebounds) and rookie Anthony Edwards (21 points) did not prevent a seventh straight loss. Sunday through Monday at 2 p.m .: Washington and Abdia at Boston.
