It’s 2:40 am, listening to @davejsports on the #RadioParty and all Wizards tweets/content on my timeline. Happy to have the #DCfamily back. – 2:41 AM

My important 2nd half observation is Will Barton is very 90s/early 2000s with his shorts length choice – 2:39 AM
Wayne Cole @waynec0le
Hachimura to Barton to Porzingis for the AND 1 in transition. The Wizards are are showing some nice plays in this second half. #NBAJapanGames2:38 AM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
With all this young talent, the Warriors might be pretty good in a few years. A team to watch. – 2:38 AM

Quick 1st half takeaways of the Washington Wizards’ first half. #NBAJapanGames
• Rui Hachimura has been impressive again. (3 Level Scoring)
• Monte Morris PG play + running the offense has been smooth.
• Johnny Davis’s aggressiveness on the Defense side of the ball. – 2:12 AM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Wizards lead the Warriors 56-54 at halftime. This game has been pretty gross honestly, but Steph Curry has a game-high 17 points and Rui Hachimura has a team-high 11 points for Washington, so the crowd is getting their money’s worth. – 2:12 AM

Rui Hachimura had a whole off-season to work on his game. He told me “strength, mid-range, and three-pointers” was the focus. He could take a giant leap this year. #NBAJapanGames1:54 AM

When Will Barton was asked to describe Monte Morris’ game this summer, he said he’s crafty in the midrange, especially with turnaround jumpers. We’ve seen that tonight. He’s got 6 of the Wizards’ first 8 pts. – 1:22 AM

Moses Moody is the first Warrior off the bench again tonight. – 1:17 AM

Draymond, at top of the key, takes a pass from Wiggins and fires a 3. No hesitation. Swish.
If he can make opponents respect that shot at this stage of his career . . . – 1:16 AM

The Wizards’ starters for their preseason game this afternoon in Saitama, Japan:
G: Monté Morris
G: Will Barton
F: Kyle Kuzma
F: Rui Hachimura
C: Kristaps Porziņģis. – 12:36 AM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
The Wizards haven’t announced their starters yet for today’s preseason game, but this is my guess on what Wes Unseld Jr. will do with Bradley Beal out for rest:
G: Monté Morris
G: Will Barton
F: Kyle Kuzma
F: Rui Hachimura
C: Kristaps Porziņģis. – 12:26 AM
Chris Miller @cmillsnbcs
Will Barton will make his preseason debut tonight starting for Bradley Beal who is out due to rest. See you in about 45 minutes on @NBATV12:16 AM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
The Warriors and guard Ty Jerome are in talks on a camp deal to compete for a roster spot after he clears waivers Monday, sources tell me and @Shams Charania. Warriors still finalizing plan for two-ways/empty 15th over next couple weeks. Unlikely they fill 15th for tax savings. – 12:15 AM

Will Barton, who missed the preseason opener with lower back soreness, will play this afternoon, Wes Unseld Jr. said. – 11:30 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
It’ll be a similar rotation and minute allotment for the Warriors tonight in the second preseason game, per Kerr. Starters had two first half stints in the opener, didn’t play second half. No Klay Thompson again. – 11:29 PM

Kerr said Klay Thompson hasn’t scrimmage but he’s done some contact work. “He looks good, he feels good, this is all kind of precautionary stuff.” – 11:17 PM
