This was not a pristine evening, more so a doubling-down on the the brutish slog that took place in Brooklyn on Wednesday night. However, it was another win. This time against a hot, playoff-bound team, not the woeful Nets.
Washington’s 112-107 win against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night attracted 19,503 patrons. It pushed the Wizards to 32-21, 2 games behind second-place Boston and 4.5 games behind first-place Cleveland, which were both idle. It also gave it a temporary tiebreaker advantage against the Pacers, who the Wizards play again Feb. 16 in Indiana. That’s their final game before the All-Star Break.
