As we all know, the Wizards played a fantastic start to the season, with 10 wins and 3 losses in the first 13 games, and once ranked first in the East. The Purple and Gold Team's performance at the beginning of the season did not meet the expectations of the outside world, and many media and fans have said that the Lakers should not use Kuzma, Harrell and Pop to trade Wei Shao.
However, with the deepening of the season, the Wizards' record has plummeted, according to the STATISTICS of the US media statmuse, the Wizards have only won 5 wins and 11 losses in the last 16 games, during which the team's defensive efficiency is only ranked 28th in the league, and their defensive efficiency in the first 13 games of the season is the 5th in the league.

Lakers coach Vogel said after the game that Westbrook deserves the same crowded celebration treatment as Reeves today.
