None of the Wizards’ previous 11 losses had been by more than 16 points but point guard A.J. Price said the team continues to compete for its coach. “He’s doing a great job in my opinion. It may not seem like it because we don’t have any wins to show for it, but . . . he’s coming in every day upbeat, positive. That’s all you can ask from him. We haven’t given up on him.”

They were simply overmatched against San Antonio (12-3), which has won four in a row overall. The Wizards had a little inside information on the Spurs, with new assistant Don Newman spending the previous seven years in San Antonio and winning two championships. But even the added support could not help slow down a machine that got 32 assists on 45 field goals and had seven players score in double figures.

The Wizards are running out of excuses. Wittman is running out of lineup combinations. And fans at Verizon Center are running out of patience. When Ginobili faked Webster into the air and out of bounds, then made an uncontested hook shot, the Wizards heard more boos.
