Ep 13 - Wiz can’t overcome 17-point hole, fall to Indy 98-95

BulletsBasketBlog

Bradley Beal had a chance to tie the game with just seconds remaining. After catching the inbounds pass, Beal sidestepped Myles Turner for a wide-open three-pointer but it fell short as the Wizards fall to the Pacers, 98-95. Victor Oladipo, the former DeMatha product scored a game-high 33 points for the Indiana Pacers who jump into the 4-seed with the win this evening. Bradley Beal led the Wizards with 22 points (8-27 shooting) and Otto Porter added 17 (6-12 shooting) but it wouldn’t be enough, as the Wizards can’t complete the comeback to overcome a 17-point deficit. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers - 14 Washington turnovers led to 20 Indiana points including two easy layups late in the game as the Wizards were mounting their comeback. No love for Otto Porter down the stretch - After connecting on all 4 shots in the third quarter, Otto Porter took just one shot in the fourth quarter. Brooks' rotations remain a mystery.
