Washington's sluggish start follows a franchise-worst 15-67 record a season ago. Brogdon's effort came after missing four games and two weeks with a hamstring strain. He has been arguably Washington's most efficient player, scoring 15 or more points while playing 30 or fewer minutes in seven of his last eight games.Brogdon hit a 3-pointer from the left wing, then fed Sarr for another 3 on the Wizards' next possession to stretch the lead to a game-high 12 points with 1:29 left.

Double-team when necessary but rotate quickly to contest open shooters.Stay disciplined on closeouts to limit three-point shooting.Push the pace using Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma to score before Milwaukee’s defense sets.Utilize Jonas Valančiūnas in the Post,Attack Brook Lopez to draw fouls and open scoring opportunities.
