Rui Hachimura invades the paint according to his allies and aims for the goal, but is blocked by a good block. Even so, five minutes after the start, he fake the opponent with a pump fake and scored his first goal with his favorite pull-up. When he receives the ball with paint again according to his allies, this time it induces a shoot foul and makes a successful free throw.
Hachimura got off to a good start, but the team stepped back because he couldn’t stop Jokić’s post play, which made the most of his height and width. In addition to power play, Jokić succeeded in a 3-point shot, a middle shot, and all six field goals. In the first quarter alone, Jokić lost 15 points and suddenly carried 17 points behind.
However, in the second quarter, the second unit inspires and Wizards fights back. Bertans succeeded in shooting three points, which he is good at, and Raul Neto also mass-produced points with a bullish drive. In defense, Robin Lopez and Alex Len stretched out and did not give Jokić freedom.
Immediately after returning to the court with 6 minutes remaining, Hachimura ran the lead of haste and succeeded in a dynamic dunk. Bradley Beal also gradually improved and scored, and Wizards turned around with a 3-point shot by Bertans. He made a big quarter of 46-23 and turned the game over.

With nine seconds remaining, Bertans sank all three free throws to beat 128-125, but shortly after, Hachimura scored a deep three-point shot in front of Mark.
It was thought that he would enter overtime, but the beer entrusted with the last possession triggered a shoot foul with 0.1 seconds remaining. Both of these free throws were successful and put an end to the fierce battle.
Hachimura scored constantly in the second half, deciding a dunk from haste, and recorded 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in 29 minutes of participation. Russell Westbrook scored 12 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists (8 turnovers) in a triple-double, and Beer scored 25 points and 10 assists in a double-double.
The main force also showed strength, but the bench members were outstanding in this match. Bertans’ 35 points and nine 3-point shots were both carry-high numbers, and Neto also scored 14 points to succeed in all five field goals. The number indicating the difference in goals scored when the starting lineup started was 0 or less, while the five bench members were positive, which shows the high contribution of the second unit.
Wizards has won today for the third time in a row since 2018. Next, the Trail Blazers will be the opponent, but as the team is starting to unite, I would like to extend the winning streak even if it is not.
