The ‘make or miss league’ theory was on display in D.C. on Saturday night when a sizzling first half shooting performance by the Washington Wizards put them out front to stay in their 127-113 win over the Indiana Pacers.
This wasn’t a classic slow start for the Pacers despite falling behind 80-57 at the half (yes, that is an 8). The Pacers were actually ahead 29-28 with 2:45 left in the first quarter and THEN things went sideways in a hurry for the Pacers.
The Wiz closed the first with a 9-0 run and then scored 43 second quarter points to go to the break up 23 points which was more than enough to win the game.
