When they have 19 turnovers that turn into 27 Brooklyn points, they are simply shooting themselves in the foot. Russell Westbrook had eight turnovers, while Bradley Beal had six while facing multiple double teams as well as box-and-one coverages. Scott Brooks attributed some of the turnover issues to less spacing without Davis Bertans to which Westbrook simply said, &#8220;it doesn&#8217;t&#8221; when asked if that was the case.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Blake Griffin&#39;s first bucket with the Nets naturally a dunk <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6khE8fLTXc\">pic.twitter.com\/6khE8fLTXc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Hoop District (@Hoop_District) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Hoop_District\/status\/1373799424095322112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 22, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nBoth Brooks and Westbrook alluded to the Wizards&#8217; second unit not coming prepared with the needed mindset in the game. Besides Robin Lopez, Raul Neto, Deni Avdija, and Isaac Bonga combined for just two points on 1-for-7 shooting. Brooklyn had their way offensively attributing to Washington&#8217;s -47 from their bench in a combined 63 minutes. Avdija played just three minutes in the second half out of necessity to give the heavily worked starters a breather. There will be minutes up for grabs to Avdija with Bertans sidelined approximately two weeks with a calf strain, but Brooks has shown that they will not be given if not warranted in his mind.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_31541\" style=\"width: 1090px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31541\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EwyuIz5WUAEFyJk.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EwyuIz5WUAEFyJk.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EwyuIz5WUAEFyJk-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EwyuIz5WUAEFyJk-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EwyuIz5WUAEFyJk-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EwyuIz5WUAEFyJk-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EwyuIz5WUAEFyJk-440x440.jpeg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deni Avdija &#8211; Photo Credit: Washington Wizards<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n&#8220;Our bench did not come into the game and lock into the game plan,&#8221; Scott Brooks said. &#8220;We don&#8217;t have a lot of room for error, guys are out, we need everybody to be in.
