Now it’s official: The Wizards have swept the Lakers in the regular-season series. Trivia fact: when have the Wizards last swept a reigning NBA Championship? Looking forward to your answers in the comments. Just before the win against the Lakers yesterday, the Washington Wizards had their impressive eight-win streak ended in dramatic fashion by the Spurs in an overtime thriller earlier this week.
And just before that, they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers for that 8th win in what was their longest winning streak in almost 20 years. Perhaps now they can start a get a new winning streak going, as they match up against the rebuilding (mmmmmmmmm, tanking) Cavs.
