Coulibaly's defense shines in the Wizards' first win of the season
Briefly

Jordan Poole showcased his efficiency and shooting talent, going 6-8 from three-point range and providing a consistent scoring presence for the Wizards, ending with impressive 61.5% shooting across the season's first three games.
Bilal Coulibaly's standout performance on defense particularly against Trae Young was key for Washington. Despite Young's offensive skill, Coulibaly's agility and length limited him significantly, forcing Young into an abysmal 2-15 shooting night.
The Wizards overcame a challenging first half filled with turnovers by improving their shooting in the second half, ultimately leading to victory through strategic plays including 21 three-pointers to Atlanta's 15.
Kudos to the coaching staff for their intelligent use of Corey Kispert, who effectively set ball screens and opened up offensive options, reminiscent of past successful offensive sets during the Wes Unseld Jr. era.
