Despite the great fitness of the Mavericks who came into this game with 15 wins in 20 games and recently overtook Golden State en route to third place in the West, the Wizards felt comfortable from the start and quite amazingly – did not lag even for a second, with the record difference standing at 34. Cantevius Caldwell Pop led His team to a 43:34 balance with a season-high 35 points, while the Texas team dropped to a 30:48 balance.

The Israeli, who is a partner in all of Washington’s 77 games this season (one of six players in the entire NBA who did not miss a game), continues to raise his stock and will hope to provide another compelling ability on Sunday (20:00 Israel time) at Boston.

Coldwell Pop found the handle from the start and with a three about two minutes to go the first quarter reached 12 points and set a double-digit lead for the host, 22:33. Abdia hit the board early in the second quarter with a half-distance basket that set up 30:45, and by the half added two threes. The Wizards led 53:67 at the break, escaped to a 25-point lead towards the middle of the third quarter but Luka Doncic activated his magic and the visitors shrank to 91:78.

Before the final quarter break, Abdia hit an important three that stopped the blue momentum and gave his team a 78:94 advantage, from which Washington did not look back. In the final quarter Jason Kidd was sent off with two quick technicals and the 21-year-old forward finished “end one” thus reaching 14 points for the third time in the last four games.

Kristaps Forzingis won the X-Men with 24 points and 9 rebounds (8 points for Spencer Dinwiddie, Davis Bartans did not score), Roy Hachimura contributed 21, Smith 12 with 9 assists and Anthony Gil 10.
