The Numbers Crunch: Wizards cling to last with loss to Raptors
Briefly

In a game between two struggling NBA teams, the Toronto Raptors defeated the Washington Wizards in a contest characterized by poor shooting from both sides. With a combined shooting percentage well below 30% from three-point range and particularly lackluster two-point shooting, the game featured a fast pace but disappointing offensive performance. Toronto capitalized on their rebounding and ball-handling, while Washington's situation remains bleak, yet their young player-focused lineup offers a glimmer of hope amid a difficult season. The Wizards aim to secure the worst record yet, embracing a youth movement.
The Wizards shot just 29.7% from three-point range, and the Raptors shot even less at 27.8%... Both teams had plenty of open looks. They just missed. A lot.
Wizards head coach Brian Keefe seems to understand the job. Closing the game with a lineup averaging 20.4 years old showed a commitment to youth.
