The Washington Wizards are getting worse as this series progresses. Losing by 29 points at home was very humiliating but much is pointed at the health of Russell Westbrook who is trying to keep things up while nursing an injury. He still managed to contribute a triple-double of 26 points, 12 rebounds and ten assists while Bradley Beal is not far behind with 25 points, six rebounds and three assists. Daniel Gafford was the third-best scorer for the team coming off the bench with 16 points and six rebounds. Rounding up the double-digit scorers during that night was Rui Hachimura with 10.
