WASHINGTON - It was about 5:30 p.m. in D.C. when things were just getting started.
There was a street band at the top of the escalator at the Gallery Place Metro station, which is a normal occurrence at Wizards games. They played music ranging from Go-Go, Washington, D.C.’s own percussion based flavor, to smooth jazz to soulful music.
The city was bumping a bit more than usual. There was traffic still siphoning down 7th Street — many of them just transient commoners from nearby areas just trying to make it home after a long day of work.
