WASHINGTON - From nothing to something. By now, everyone knows the Washington Wizards started the season 2-8. They were a mess and the mess was convincing. And the players on the team will admit that.
But now, here the Wizards stand at the top of the Southeast Division as the four seed in the Eastern Conference. They have the best record in the conference since December 1st and have bolstered their confidence to new heights.
What cannot be lost in this massive turnaround for the Wizards is their record at home. The team has won 15 straight in the Verizon Center to push their overall home record to 20-6 — the second best home record in the conference and the third best overall behind the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors.
