The former Wizard was welcomed back to Washington with ovations at Capital One Arena, where his Clippers handed the Wizards their sixth straight loss.
Saturday night from the NBA at large with his former backcourt mate Bradley Beal sidelined with a hamstring strain, he had competition for the most applause at his old stomping ground.
“Guys are playing a lot of minutes, and there’s a fatigue factor for sure,” Coach Wes Unseld Jr. said. “It’s not an excuse. We’ve got to make some of these plays, have to have the recognition of whatever the coverage may be, to pull the trigger, rotate correctly. That’s manageable. We’ve done it. We do it. Just sometimes in these late, fourth-quarter situations, we don’t.”Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis were still very much available.
One of the loudest moments of the night was when Wall lost his handle and Jordan Goodwin, starting at point guard, poked the ball away to get it to Corey Kispert for a one-handed slam.
