After three straight losses, the Washington Wizards and Danny Abdia came back to win tonight (Saturday through Sunday) when they apparently got a rival by invitation. The Wizards They defeated the Detroit Pistons 92: 106 When Abdia started in the top five, he finished the half with a great three and provided 5 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in almost 27 minutes. Washington conceded just 41 points in the first half – its best record this season.
After the game the coach Scott Brooks Complimented Abdia: “His game was solid. Of course he could have done a few things better but that’s true for every player. On defense he had a few mistakes in front of their scenes. As a playmaker he was good, we put the ball in his hands some of the time and he made good decisions.”
About the game: “It was a good win for us. We needed it. We needed a win to erase that bad taste in our mouths from the last game. It’s important that the guys came back, came and played the right way. In my opinion we played good and right basketball for most of the game, except for seven minutes In the third quarter. “
Along with the joy of victory, the team is worried about the condition of Bradley Bill who scored 17 points in 21 minutes before leaving the game due to a bruised hip. “We will see how he feels tomorrow and then we will make the decision whether to participate in the next game,” the coach clarified.
On the other hand, good news came from the direction of Daniel Gaford who made a very good debut for the team with 13 points, 6 from 7 from the floor and also 5 rebounds and 3 blocks. “I’m disappointed he missed the last shot,” the coach said with humor and continued: “His game was fantastic. He saves well. He has a chance to be a good player for a long time. He was excellent as Tommy Shepherd told me he would be.” Roy Hachimura also complimented: “He brought good energy, we needed it.”
And what about the game star? Russell Westbrook provided a great triple-double of 19 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists. Westbrook reached 15 triple-doubles in his debut season at the Wizcades (after just 37 games) and equaled Darrell Walker, who himself recorded 283 games for the team between 1987 and 1991. Beyond that it was his 161st triple-double of his career, just 20 behind champion Oscar Robertson.
