It can be frustrating rooting for the Washington Wizards sometimes. One minute you’re thinking about a potential Eastern Conference Finals experience against LeBron James, the next minute you’re stressing about the team giving away games to inferior teams with their play in the fourth quarter. The Wizards’ last two games against the Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks are the latest examples of the late-game struggles they haven’t been able to shake this season.
While the team escaped with 102-100 victory over the Grizzlies on Friday night, behind a combined 59 point performance from Wall and Beal, the team only shot 2-of-17 from the field and only scored 15 points in the fourth quarter.
