Resilient Wizards take overtime win against the Raptors

The Wizards overtime victory against the Toronto Raptors was a good win, in part because they entered the game gassed. Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal — who nearly stole a win the previous night against the Milwaukee Bucks — were visibly dragging from the start.

Anthony Gill got the start in place of Rui Hachimura (sidelined for a second night with a non-COVID illness) and gave them nothing. Chandler Hutchison was bad. So was Ish Smith. Westbrook too.

And the Wizards won anyway. On the road. Second night of a back-to-back after a taxing and hard-fought loss the night before.
