The competitive portion of the Wizards’ Bubble season is now complete. They lost by eight to the depleted Brooklyn Nets to fall seven games behind them. They’ll need to make up three games in the standings with six to play — and their schedule consists of the Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, New Orleans Pelicans, Oklahoma City Thunder, Milwaukee Bucks, and Boston Celtics. All are probable losses for the Wizards.
In the loss to the Nets, the Wizards failed on defense primarily because of excessive fouling.
