So often this season, the Washington Wizards have climbed back from big deficits only to usually come up short. In Monday’s loss to Milwaukee, for instance, Washington cut a 26-point Bucks lead to five points with more than seven minutes left. Milwaukee, though, pulled away — winning 133-122.
Bradley Beal has a theory for why the Wizards have trouble finishing: They’re running out of gas, he said.
“It definitely takes a toll on you, knowing you compete your butt off and spend most of your time just trying to get back in the game,” Beal said.
Out of the All-Star break, the Wizards have dropped four straight entering Wednesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings.
