On February 11, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Nets lost 112-113 to the Wizards on the road, suffering 10 consecutive losses. The Nets played well in the first half of this game, they could play back and forth with the Wizards, the two teams were evenly divided, and in the half game, the Nets also took a 4-point lead. However, in the third quarter, the Nets once again had a stagnant offensive situation, they only scored 19 points in a single quarter, the net loss of the Wizards 12 points, the end of the third quarter, the Nets trailed the Wizards by 8 points. In the final quarter, the Nets did not give up the game, they tried to close the point gap, at most the team closed the score gap to 5 points. But unfortunately, at the crucial moment, they did not seize the opportunity, the Wizards as a whole played well, and finally the Wizards laughed at home to the end, they successfully won this game, ending a two-game losing streak, while the Nets suffered a long 10-game losing streak.
The game was the first game between the Wizards and the Nets after the trade deadline, and both teams had a lot of trades at the trade deadline, the team lost a lot of players, and the new signings had not yet arrived on the team. This also led to a very incomplete lineup of the two teams for this campaign.
However, in comparison, the Wizards played better, in the face of the losing Nets, the Wizards this campaign under the leadership of Kuzma and others, they played a smooth team offense, the team this game a total of 6 people scored in double figures, in the case of Bill injured, Dinwiddie and Harrell were traded, the rest of the team players stepped forward, they did a good job of sharing the ball, and they worked the defensive end, and the offensive end played equally well. Trailing the Nets in the first half, the Wizards began to power in the third quarter, and they managed to overtake the score, while in the final quarter, the Wizards maintained a lead in the score without giving the Nets a chance. In the end, the Wizards successfully defeated the Nets at home and won the game.
Kuzma performed well in this game, he had 15 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, which was the first triple-double of his career, and in the absence of a major general, he played a very comprehensive performance to give the team a lot of help, and he was the hero of the Wizards' victory.
On the Nets side, the team traded Harden to Philadelphia at the trade deadline, which has a great impact on the overall strength of the team. Although Irving can play away from home, his performance cannot help the team win. In this game, Irving got 31 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, the personal performance is not bad, but unfortunately, his personal ability can not help the team to finally win the game, the Nets' recent performance is very unsatisfactory, the team has very big problems, in both offensive and defensive need to improve.
After losing this game, the Nets have suffered 10 consecutive losses, which is the longest losing streak of the season, and there are many problems with this Nets team, the team is in trouble, and they need to find a way to get themselves back on track. Of course, for the Nets, they also have good news, at the trade deadline, the Nets through the trade to get Simmons, Drummond and Cescuri and other players, these players are very good, if Nash can let them integrate into the team's tactical system, I believe the team will end their losing streak and have a better performance in the next game.
