If I told you that the Washington Wizards would play two competitive games in consecutive days against playoff bound teams, especially after trading their one legitimate post player, you would tell me that I’m a liar. But that’s what happened in tonight’s 119-113 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Sure, the Wizards lost last night to the Celtics and again tonight to the Sixers. But when the Wizards play a competitive game against two great teams in back-to-back days, I’ll take it. Who cares if the Sixers were missing multiple players including defending NBA MVP Joel Embiid?
Here are some things I liked about tonight’s game:
- Tyus Jones led the Wizards with 25 points and 9 assists.
