Nba, Washington comeback and prank Brooklyn 149-146

An incredible match finale rewards the Wizards ‘courage and tenacity and punishes the Nets’ arrogance. Washington finds a way to pick up a match in the hands of the New York team and with the triples of Beal and Westbrook manages to win 149-146 a game in which no one really wants to defend. A score from All Star Game and in fact both teams defend with the approach of the game of the stars, if to do so is the team with the worst record of the NBA, the Wizards indeed, but it is one thing, very different the speech when a conceding so much is a contender like Brooklyn. With this defensive attitude, laying the foundations for a team capable of contending for the title becomes a feat. “We need a change of pace – says the Nets coach Steve Nash – it is necessary to bring out pride and discipline all possessions. We have conceded too much, for how we defended for sure we did not deserve to win. a very frustrating situation “. Frustrating for the fans of the Nets above all a really crazy race finale with Brooklyn in clear control, but capable of resurrecting Washington. Without the bruised James Harden the New York team gets off to a great start, arriving very early at +18 but then decides to lower the level of concentration. In attack, the plays of a super Kevin Durant, the flashes of Irving and the triples of Harris are enough, but in the second half with the acceleration of Beal and the penetrations of Westbrook things get complicated.

In the last quarter then the fireworks arrive with Beal absolutely unstoppable (22 points in the fraction) and Westbrook with the turbo inserted. Brooklyn still remains in front and seems to close the accounts with Irving’s free at 12 ” from the siren that brings her to +5. Bradley Beal, however, eight seconds from the end finds the triple that keeps Washington alive, Harris instead of calling timeout produces a throw-in to forget by giving the ball to Mathews, Westbrook thanks and punishes the Nets from long distance. The basketball gods then decide that Brooklyn does not deserve the photo finish victory by spitting out the layup of Luwawu-Cabarrot less than a second from the siren, so Washington forgets all his problems for one evening and wins a victory that at least makes morale . “Russell dragged us to success this evening – underlines Scott Brooks, the Wizards coach – he is a true leader who plays with the right spirit every match”. A Westbrook, however, that has not yet managed to make its mark in the capital, just think that in his 11 games played in the Wizards Washington jersey he has a record of 2-9, and both successes came precisely against the Nets of his former partner at Oklahoma City Kevin Durant.
