Anthony Davis scores 44, but Wizards lose to Pistons

The Washington Wizards suffered their fourth consecutive defeat, losing to the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena. The team could not stop its losing streak from continuing.

Anthony Davis finished the game with 44 points and 13 rebounds. He made 16 of 21 field goal attempts and converted 10 of 11 free throws. The 10-time All-Star also reached a statistical milestone that, in his first 80 games, only Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan had reached.

After the game, Davis said, "My numbers don't matter, we lost." The player noted that the team had not grabbed rebounds in its last four games, was giving up open threes, and was committing too many fouls. He also said they had been unable to stop opposing players and had problems in transition offense. Davis stated that nothing is going right for the team at the moment.
