Takeaways from Wizards' blowout win over Brooklyn Nets

Takeaways from Wizards' blowout win over Brooklyn Nets

Entering the game, John Walls availability had been in doubt because of a migraine headache. Friday, he gave the Brooklyn Nets one as the Wizards swept the season series to move a step closer to officially clinching their third playoff berth in four seasons. Bradley Beal (19 points), Ian Mahinmi (16 points, seven rebounds), Brandon Jennings (18 points, nine assists) and Bojan Bogdanovic (17 points) also reached double figures in a game in which coach Scott Brooks was able to cut the minutes of all of his starters. Jeremy Lin (14 points) got Brooklyn out to a fast start for a 13-4 lead after a jumper from Brook Lopez (six points) but that advantage was eroded quickly.
