Wizards have seven in double figures, rout Grizzlies. MORE:
The Wizards held Memphis to 35% shooting from the field. Washington led 60-47 at halftime and went on a 23-6 run during the third quarter that broke the game open.“We played a pretty good defensive game tonight. Did a decent job on their best player,” Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. said. “Some of that is, when our offense is clicking, they’re taking the ball out of the net. Gives us a chance to set our defense.
The Wizards shot 71% from the field in the first quarter, and eventually Memphis couldn't keep up. Washington led 56-44 after Kyle Kuzma's 3-pointer in the second, and the lead was back in single digits only briefly after that. It was 66-57 before the Wizards went on their big third-quarter run. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's 3 made it 75-59. A dunk by Harrell made it 87-63, and then Aaron Holiday added a layup.
Washington led 35-31 after one quarter, but although the game was still close, the Grizzlies were having problems stopping the Wizards already.TIP-INS
