Another slower start than the Wizards would like. They’re tied 20-20 with the Spurs after one, looking for their first win in San Antonio since 1999. – 9:03 PM
Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
I know he’s polarizing on this place, but when your team is clanking 3-balls all over the gym, it’s nice to have a Bryn Forbes to come in and swish an open one. – 9:01 PM

Davis Bertans checks in.
In 3 career games against his old team, he’s averaged 19.0 points per game while shooting 37.9 percent (17 of 23) from the floor, including 70.6 percent from 3-point range (12 of 17). – 8:57 PM
Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
Spurs’ only real problem here early is they can’t make the ball in the basket. Luckily, Wizards not much better – 8:54 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Looked like Daniel Gafford re-aggravated his right thumb injury a bit. Montrezl Harrell is in to replace him. – 8:51 PM

Keldon Johnson has a three and two big dunks already vs. the Wiz in 5 min. He is turning into a really good player. It’s impressive the Spurs found him with the 29th overall pick. – 8:50 PM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
With his posterizing slam vs. Celtics and two early jams tonight, Keldon Johnson is enjoying a two-game dunkathon.
The sparse gathering tonight loves it. – 8:48 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
FWIW, when Cauley-Stein took his first rest on Saturday, Wizards led 11-10. When Moses Brown took his first breather tonight, Mavs led 14-12. – 8:48 PM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
Keldon Johnson with 7 points early in the 1Q.

Vucevic scored 9 points in his first stint but also missed a point-blank layup and struggled defensively with Hornets’ pick-and-pop. Washington is 4-4 from 3. – 8:29 PM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
Bulls 21-16. 4:34 left. Vooch with 7pts. Washington-9pts. Lonzo: 6-1-1. LaMelo: 0-4-2/2 fouls. – 8:24 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
PJ Washington is 3-for-3 from 3-point range in four minutes off the bench – 8:23 PM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
Wizards make 10.4 threes per game (29th) but are best in league in limiting opp 3PT makes (10.1, 1st).
So despite being a low volume 3PT makes they win the 3PT line because they take away 3s from the opponent.
I asked Coach Unseld Jr. if this was a strategy going into season pic.twitter.com/xOLffn5jIq8:23 PM
