The WashingtonWizards won a somewhat strange yet thoroughly entertaining game against the Golden State Warriors last night. It was Washington’s second straight victory, and probably their last until they visit the Sacramento Kings next Wednesday.
As is their modus operandi, the Wizards built an early lead behind some hot shooting from Rui Hachimura (opened the game 5-of-5 from the floor) and lots of hooks from Robin Lopez, and then watched it erode. In a break from their norm, they pulled together and made just enough plays to win it with a final seconds four-point play from Bradley Beal.
