AD 44 points, 13 rebounds
Dybantsa 21 points, eight rebounds
Wizards committed 18 turnovers. The offense lacks flow right now. A lot of one on five plays.
Per @chasedcsports AD is the first Wizards player since 2021 (Bradley Beal) to have 30 in a half. He is the 5th player to do it for the franchise since at least 1996-97; Beal, John Wall, Gilbert Arenas and Michael Jordan.
Per Wizards PR, Anthony Davis put up 30 points and eight rebounds in the first half on .909 shooting from the floor. He's had at least 30/8 on at least .900 from the field in a half twice in his career (2018 vs. the Lakers), and he is the only player in the NBA to do so since at least 1996-97.
