On April 2, Beijing time, the NBA field broke out of the big cold! The No. 3 Lone Ranger in the West gave up the No. 3 position in the West in a 102-135 away defeat to the No. 12 Wizards in the East. In this game, the Lone Ranger team seemed to be more disjointed, and the number of assists for the whole team was unusually low. Although Doncic scored 36 points, his teammates did not give strength and could only leave the field in frustration.
In this campaign, Porzingis played against the old lord. But Pop stole everyone's limelight in the first quarter, scoring 12 points on 5-of-6 in the quarter. Porzingis also scored 8 points in the first quarter. The Wizards blossomed more, scoring 41 points in a single quarter, 11 points ahead of the Lone Rangers. In the second quarter, the Wizards continued to extend their advantage, leading by 14 points at halftime at 67-53. In the half, the Lone Ranger Doncic scored 19 points, but his teammates played badly.
In the third quarter, the two sides played evenly, but the point difference was still around 15 points, and the Lone Ranger was powerless to approach. At the beginning of the last quarter, the Wizards regained their strength, instantly widening the point difference to 26 points. Although the Lone Ranger did not give up and let Doncic stay on the court, the teammates played really limited. The Wizards held on to a 25-point advantage or more, and the Lone Ranger eventually surrendered.
Throughout the game, the Lone Rangers side Doncic scored 36 points, 7 boards, 6 assists and 5 turnovers, Brunson scored 21 points, and the rest of the players failed to score in double figures. In the whole game, the Lone Ranger only had 14 assists and 13 turnovers, which was very embarrassing. In contrast, the Wizards, Pop 35 points, Yamura 21 points, Porzingis 24 points and 9 boards, the whole team of 6 people in doubles, the final upset big win.
After this battle, the Lone Ranger also gave up the third place in the West that had just sat for a day.

The rest of the players rarely have the ability to attack on their own, which is a big problem in the playoffs.
