The Washington Wizards are seeking guidance from successful NBA organizations, prominently the Oklahoma City Thunder, due to the connections of their leadership. However, the impact of the Los Angeles Clippers, led by former Clippers GM Michael Winger, is noteworthy. In a recent matchup, the Clippers showcased their defensive prowess, holding the Wizards to low shooting percentages, leading to the Wizards' twelfth consecutive loss. Coach Tyronn Lue emphasizes a top defensive mentality as vital for success, especially with key player Kawhi Leonard's limited playtime this season.
Winger also spent nearly six years as general manager for the Los Angeles Clippers, who beat the Wizards, 110-93, on Thursday night at Intuit Dome.
Clippers Coach Tyronn Lue's team entered the game with the third-best defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions), according to Cleaning the Glass.
