• Podcast Locked On Wizards host · Analysis · 29 h ago around the league

  Early on, the Wizards failed to get a challenge in on a three-point-attempt foul called on Bilal Coulibaly. The call gave Norman Powell three free throws. Players hovered away from the line to buy time and drew a delay-of-game warning, and the foul was Coulibaly's third. Hosts blame the coaching staff. A successful challenge later partly made up for it.
