The Washington Wizards are still alive! They are headed to the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs after a 142-115 win over the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night.
I’ll admit it. I prepared for this game expecting a Washington Wizards loss. Because of that, I prepared a piece of the move we’ve been waiting for as a fanbase, the most anticipated move since Ernie Grunfeld’s ouster. But let’s be honest. The Wizards didn't want this to happen, at least right away. So here we are.
They started the first half with a 66-52 halftime lead. Russell Westbrook had a near triple-double in the first two quarters, and Washington shot 56.
