Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs Washington Wizards
Additionally, the Wizards are pretty banged up. Their leading scorer and best defensive player is injured, in addition to three more important rotational players (and arguably their second-best defender/young player in Bilal Coulibaly), and they’re running out of NBA-quality guards.
The speedy guard averaged 22.3 points, 7.7 assists and 2 steals per game in helping the Spurs reach the final and finish with a 5-2 record in the tournament.
