Before this season started, it had been a while since the Washington Wizads really gave us something to cheer about. Two seasons without a playoff appearance and hope was running low in the nation’s capital.
The first few months of this season were not much of an improvement, either. The Wizards looked like they were going nowhere for a third straight season. Then, things changed. Over the past month and a half, the Wizards have been one of the best teams in the NBA and keep racking up wins.
