Sometimes you run into a team that is just having one of Those Games. Even the worst teams are capable of having Those Games. The Washington Wizards squad that the Golden State Warriors hosted on Saturday night, despite being an NBA-worst 6-34, are even capable of having Those Games. Earlier this year, the Wizards ended a 16-game losing streak by comfortably beating the Denver Nuggets of all teams. One of Those Games.
The Wizards had one of Those Games on Saturday. The Warriors seem to lose every time a team has one of Those Games, or even anything remotely adjacent to it, and often to teams that aren’t even playing well.
