Cade with another uninspired outing and the bench offense continues to be a disaster.
They got outrebounded, outscored in the paint, and the bench was outscored 40-26. The only players who played somewhat well in Detroit were Bojan Bogdanovic and a pair of rookies. The Wizards were led by Kyle Kuzma with 25 points and Detroit had no answers for the size of Kristaps Porzingis who scored 20 without breaking much of a sweat. He had zero assists and four turnovers and was eventually benched in the second half for Kevin Knox as Cory Joseph took over backup point guard duties. Whatever they did with that time didnโt work as everything that was bad and frustrating about that loss was magnified in a lifeless, uninspiring 120-98 loss to the Washington Wizards. Heโs just not locked in, and he doesnโt look like heโs physically ready for the demands of the NBA season.
