Overtime basketball in preseason is torture. Double-overtime basketball in preseason is death. On Thursday afternoon, Sam Hinkie died for our sins – again.
After losing their first preseason game on Tuesday night, the Washington Wizards looked to bounce back against the Philadelphia 76ers. Even though it’s preseason, losing to the Sixers in any capacity would be devastating.
Washington did all they could to hand the Sixers a victory, but Philadelphia is convinced that losing in preseason will help them secure more lottery balls. Somehow, the Wizards managed to outlast the Sixers and got their first exhibition win.
