The Brooklyn Nets were in town Friday night. The Wizards won, 129-108. Now that the hapless Nets are out of the way, Washington will focus on an enormous coming trip and the pending postseason. The trip starts Saturday night in Cleveland and includes stops against the Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State and Utah. Also in the mix is a visit with the Lakers.
Washington will go through the trip as a playoff team. Thanks to its win Friday, and Chicago and Detroit losing, the Wizards clinched a playoff spot for the third time in four seasons.
