It’s not so bad. A one-point loss to the Los Angeles Clippers led by elite players like {checks notes} Luke Kennard, Amir Coffey and Terance Mann is okay. I mean, that trio of all-time greats got quality help from borderline All-Timers {checks notes again} Isaiah Hartenstein and Jay Scrubb.
Sure, the Wizards had the rotation they wanted out there, and forced the Clippers to stage a frantic comeback to make it a game. LA trailed the entire way until the final seconds when they had to get an improbable four-point play from Kennard, the future Hall of Famer to squeak out the win.
