With both the Washington Wizards and Washington Redskins in Los Angeles for games over the weekend, many fans made the trek cross-country for a very D.C. road trip. Adam Rubin (@LedellsPlace) attended both games.
By now you have heard about the clock malfunction that wiped away Bradley Beal’s game-winning buzzer-beater versus the Los Angeles Clippers.
