Warriors beat Wizards 135-126 snap two-game losing streak
Andrew Wiggins needed a dominating performance like this after illness and injuries twice derailed his season and disrupted his flow.
JaMychal Green did as well, as he had to battle with COVID-19 at first and then an infection in his lower right leg. He’s currently struggling with a sore wrist.
In their final home game ahead of the All-Star break, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Washington Wizards 135-126 on Monday night, led by the performance of Andrew Wiggins (29 points, seven rebounds), Klay Thompson (27 points), and Draymond Green.
“Definitely his finest game since he’s been back,” coach Steve Kerr said of Wiggins. “He had a lot of strong games early in the season, but I admire his aggressiveness. He was driving the rim all night, got it rolling from the mid-range, and just scored a lot of critical buckets when we were starting to fade.”
Green hit all five field goals and went 4 of 4 from long range for a total of 14 points, five assists, and one turnover. Back-up point guard Ty Jerome had nine points, seven assists, and one turnover.
Jerome applauded Green’s perseverance and positive attitude, especially on the days when he wasn’t able to play.
“No matter how long you’ve been in the league or how old you are,” Jerome remarked, “It’s not simple.” “He offers a toughness aspect for us every time, so to be perfect from the field tonight and good on defense. Seeing them fall in that way is encouraging because that fits who he is as a shooter. Tonight, Wiggs appeared to be an All-Star. He is the way he is.”
