Sharing is caring:

Since the beginning of training camp, the Wizards has made it their point of emphasis to share the ball more during the 2019 season, and so far, they have done an expectational job sticking to the game plan.

Although it is nice to see the team go out their way to get everyone involved, in some instances Washington may have overshared the ball. So much so, it may have been the primary reason they trailed 59-52 at the break.

John Wall led the way in the assist department as he recorded nine dimes in the win. The Wizards as a whole would go on to record 26 assists to the Heat’s 20. With the rumors of chemistry issues that surrounded the team last year, hopefully, their willingness to share the ball will restore trust within the Wizards’ locker room.
