By late Tuesday afternoon, Coach Scott Brooks said he had not heard from the league regarding a potential fine or suspension for Wall. On several occasions this season, the NBA has announced fines for players in the days following the incident.

Though after the game Wall spoke about “letting it go,” it was a sign of things going from bad to worse at Verizon Center, where the 1-5 Wizards say they’re in the middle of executing a “plan” but the early returns show a team in the throes of an unbreakable funk.

“We did not expect it to be like this,” Bradley Beal said.

“We got to get our toughness back, our identity back,” Beal continued. “We’re playing with no toughness, no swag. We got to pick each other up. We’ve got to get something going.”

Though defense was preached ad nauseam from the moment Coach Scott Brooks stepped to the dais in his introductory press conference, the Wizards have a 106.0 defensive rating which is on pace to surpass even their woeful 2015-16 season (103.6). Most noticeably, players can’t defend the three-point arc, giving up 39.5 percent to opponents, tied for worst in the league.

This season, the Wizards have crumbled under fourth-quarter pressure; Monday night was no different. A close fourth quarter in which the Wizards led 95-94 with 6:45 remaining in the game, soon turned into an 11-point deficit. Trevor Ariza and Ryan Anderson knocked down open threes. James Harden, who’s making a convincing case for MVP (32 points, 15 assists, six rebounds but eight turnovers) moved inside for two clean looks at the rim.

Wizards’ opponents have scored 28.3 points in the fourth quarter and of course, this statistic ranks as one of the highest averages the league.

“By this point everybody got to look themselves in the mirror and come back and go to the drawing board [to see] what we got to do to get wins and get stops,” Otto Porter Jr. said. “We’ve got to find some way to get over that hump.”

Also, the team is just as bad at moving the ball, making shots and protecting possessions — which is pretty much every fundamental offensive basketball.

Through six games, the Wizards have a 1.09 assist-to-turnover ratio, ranking 29th in the NBA. During the stretch as Houston distanced itself in the final quarter, Wall (21 points, eight assists) committed two of his team-high six turnovers.

When the defense can’t stand up and the offense doesn’t run effectively enough, this is what happens: Five losses by the second week of the season and the “f” word floating around the locker room.

“We don’t want to be 1-5 right now. Everybody’s frustrated. Everybody’s mad,” Beal said.

Beal’s comments seem to have shifted from his Saturday night observations when he ascribed to Brooks the state of being “pretty fed up” and ready “to start playing guys who want to play and guys who want to show up.” Similar to Porter, Beal now suggested the self-evaluation.
