Wizards Finally Hold A Team Under 100 Points, The Last Nba Team To Do So This Season

It took 57 games for the Washington Wizards to hold a team under 100 points this season.

Of course, Marcus Smart wasn't around for most of those.

Smart and the Wizards held Brooklyn to 12 points in the fourth quarter of their 107-99 victory over the Nets on Monday night. Washington was the only team in the NBA that hadn't kept an opponent in double digits this season, but the Wizards finally did it in Smart's second game with them.

"It took everybody," Smart said. "That Brooklyn team as we all know, they don't back down from nobody. They're going to come out and test you on both ends."

The 2022-23 Utah Jazz went the whole season without holding an opponent under 100, according to Sportradar. They were the first team that failed to hold a team under 100 since the 1990-91 Denver Nuggets. Denver also needed until game No. 74 to do it in 1986-87.
