Going into last night’s matchup against the Golden State Warriors, the Washington Wizards had no realistic chance of winning. It was the second night of a back-to-back, the fourth and final game of a four-game western road trip with three days off until their next game, they won the night before, and the Warriors are just plain better.
Just no shot at winning.
The Wizards stayed close until the Warriors broke the game open by winning the third quarter, 38-22. The “hero” was predictably Stephen Curry, who started the game missing five of his first six shots to torch the Wizards for 13 points in the period on 4-5 shooting from three-point range.
