ANALYSIS/OPINION:
The Wizards’ official social media hashtag is #DCFamily.
I have no idea how they arrived at that phrase to describe a team in Washington.
It’s a strange choice because a large percentage of local fans presumably come from all over. A majority of the 50 states might be represented in a typical crowd at Capital One Arena. This isn’t the type of cozy hometown market where 99 percent of the spectators demonstrate unity by donning the free T-shirts.
But in watching Washington gut out a 106-98 victory Sunday that evened its playoff series against Toronto at two games apiece, “DC Family” made sense.
