If this thing goes to double overtime………

On a night when the other sports viewing options were a Cardinals vs. 49ers NFL football game, a Cleveland vs. Boston MLB playoff game, and a Donald Trump Town Hall, the Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers went to not one but two overtimes—in an NBA preseason game. The Wizards were ultimately victorious, 125-119, and Scott Brooks earned his first “win” as head coach in Washington.
Contrary to the first preseason game when there were more negatives than positives, there were a few more bright spots to be gleaned from the victory in Philly.
