They were feeling it.
Markieff Morris kicked the ball out for a wide open Bradley Beal 3-pointer that went down. Beal held his follow through at the top of the key. John Wall put both arms up before Beal even released the shot. After being down 16 points earlier in the night, Washington had moved in front by seven points with 5:18 to play in Oklahoma City. The return of Washington coach Scott Brooks to the place that fired him despite seven quality seasons was set for a pretty ending.
Then, the Wizards stalled. They scored just eight points in the final 5:18.
