Stuck in a negative spiral during the regular season of the NBA championship, Washington failed to find the solution to escape. During the night from Monday to Tuesday, the team of Valais player Kyshawn George (20 years old) suffered a fifth consecutive defeat.
After being defeated by the Miami Heat (98-118), the Golden State Warriors (112-125), in Memphis by the Grizzlies (128-104) and in Orlando against the Magic, the team coached by Brian Keefe was erased at the Toyota Center in Houston against the Rockets who were dominant in the four quarters (107-92), notably under the leadership of the Turk Alperen Sengün, author of 27 points.
Less used than the day before in Florida, where he had appeared in the basic five and had sweated for 34 minutes, Kyshawn George played for 25 minutes on the floor of the Texan enclosure. During that time, he was credited with eight points, three assists and two rebounds. He also returned a differential of -4. The most productive scorer of the franchise from the American capital was the American Kyle Kuzma (18 points)
In the Eastern Conference standings, Washington is in 13th place (out of 15 teams) with an intermediate record of two wins and seven losses, far from the standards of the Cleveland Cavaliers (winners in Chicago 113-119), leaders with an immaculate record ( 12 outings, 12 victories).
The Wizards will try to end their negative streak on Thursday from 2 a.m. (Swiss time) when they face the Spurs in San Antonio.
