Xavier Cooks recorded a double-double on Sunday with 10 points (5-for-11 FGs), 14 rebounds, two steals and two blocks in a 114-109 loss to Houston.
Cooks signed with Washington in early March, and he’s gotten to play big minutes over their last few games with the Wizards focused on the lottery. He set a career-high for rebounding, while tying his scoring career-high with 10 points, which he set in their previous game. Jordan Goodwin led the way with 22 points, five rebounds and five assists. Johnny Davis (4-for-20) and Isaiah Tood (2-for-13) both struggled mightily from the field as starters, but Davis added six rebounds, eight assists and two steals, while Todd hauled in 12 boards in his first career start. Quenton Jackson also added 19 points off the bench. Washington will look to get back to the postseason next year, though they’ll need good moves this summer and some injury luck to have a chance.
