The NBA announced on Thursday afternoon that Scott Brooks has been named Eastern Conference coach of the Month for February.
Washington posted an 8-4 record on the month, with key wins over the Raptors, Cavaliers, Bucks, and 76ers. They also came back from a 27 point deficit to beat the Knicks, the largest margin any team has overcome in a game this season. Three of the team’s four losses came on the second end of a back-to-back, with the only exception being their overtime loss to the Celtics.
