On Friday night, the Washington Wizards concluded preseason with a 119-82 victory against the Toronto Raptors.
There’s no such thing as playing perfect basketball – players will botch plays and create turnovers – but the Wizards were pretty damn close.
Right from the start, Washington moved the ball, ran on offense and got plenty of open looks from the perimeter. Everyone, from John Wall to Markieff Morris, was hitting shots from deep.
Quickly, Washington gained a double-digit lead and never looked back.
An exhibition victory against a top team in the Eastern Conference doesn’t mean anything on paper, but it does set the foundation for the regular season.
