The Wizards‘ Game 1 win in Toronto is a step, but no series-winning guarantee. Teams that win Game 1 on the road are 68-56 (.548) all time. They also lose Game 2 almost all the time: 9-95 (.234).
Washington will have around 72 hours between when it landed back in D.C. on Saturday night and the 8 p.m. start of Game 2 in Toronto on Tuesday. The Wizards flew back right after Saturday’s game and will be home for practice, film watching and treatment prior to flying back to Toronto on Monday night.
