The Washington Wizards' ongoing struggles continued with a 119-109 defeat against the Phoenix Suns, marking their fifth consecutive loss on a six-game road trip. The Wizards have now lost 13 straight games since January 3, last winning on January 1 against the Bulls. Despite their disappointing record and a persistent scoring drought in critical moments, the Wizards showcased an improved three-point shooting performance. However, their downfall was highlighted by poor rebounding and free throw performance compared to the Suns, who dominated in those areas to secure the victory.
The Wizards stayed as close as they did largely due to ye olde three point variance. Washington entered the game as the NBA's second worst three-point shooting team (33.0%) and hit 18-41, 43.9%.
Despite Washington's decent shooting performance, Phoenix won by capitalizing on offensive rebounding and benefiting from free throw opportunities, with a notable -19 free throw discrepancy.
