“They got it done on all levels; on the glass, in the paint, they made 20 3s,” Washington coach Wes Unseld Jr. said. “I didn't think we brought the requisite amount of physicality. Rebounding is a mindset and that's got to be a priority for us.”

They are 29th in opponent's field goal percentage and 20th in 3-point defense. Offensively, the Wizards are 11th in points per game.
