This may not come as a surprise to many, but the Washington Wizards have lost yet another game as they officially fall to 6-36 on the season.
Washington hit the road for a Tuesday night bout with the Los Angeles Lakers with a chance to snap their 10-game losing streak (if for some reason they wanted to). However, in what has seemed to become the norm for these young Wizards, Brian Keefe's squad put out another lackluster performane that got them blown off the court in embarassing fashion.
However, as we do after every loss, here's a few takeaways from the Wizards 11th straight loss as their exhausting regular season continues to unfold.
Wizards front court was no match for Anthony Davis (as expected)
The Wizards entered this matchup with a chance for their reigning No. 2 overall pick Alex Sarr to see how he stacked up against one of the best big men in the league on Tuesday. Although nobody expected Washington to win this game, or Sarr to win the matchup, it would have been more encouraging to see the young team find a way to limit Davis' production in some way shape or form.
However, not only did Sarr's outing dissapoint (10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists), but Davis finished with a game-high 29 points, 16 rebounds ans five assists.
Despite that, Sarr did end the game with more blocks (5) than Davis who totaled just 4 rejects in 32 minutes of play.
Bilal Coulibaly lone bright spot for the Wizards
Bilal Coulibaly arguably was one of, if not, the only bright spot for the Wizards in LA. The French product ended the game with a team-high 17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, while shooting 7/15 from FG range. In addition, Coulibaly racked up 2 blocks and a steal in the loss.
The young guard continues to string together impressive outing during his sophomore season.
Washington's poor play earned Bronny James minutes
Normally when bench players enter the game for a team, it's due to injury-related reasons, or one team is getting blown out. Unfortunately for the Wizards most of this season, they find themselves getting the opposing team's end of bench guy dumped out in garbage time after they've been played off the court.
This time around, Washington found themselves getting steamrolled so bad that LeBron James oldest son Bronny James managed to find minutes in this contest.
The Wizards will continue their road trip with another matchup in Los Angeles on Thursday, this time against the Clippers.
