So much for playing better. The Wizards hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves — on the fourth game of a four-game road trip and the second night of a back-to-back — and got vanquished, 141-115. The game was not that close. The Timberwolves scored at least 33 in every quarter and coasted to a 134 offensive rating. […]

The Brooklyn Nets had the NBA’s best defense in December. The Nets went 7-4 for the month and held all but two teams under league average scoring and efficiency.
