The Wizards got thumped by the Miami Heat, and it’s fine. The Heat are the better team this season, which a) we’ve known since the rosters took shape in the offseason, and b) is a true statement for arguably every team in the NBA.
In my house, we were a bit behind the action most of the way, and Washington made one of those phony fourth quarter runs that made my son’s “Wizards won?!” fake spoiler plausible for a minute or two.
In truth, the Heat played a sloppy, ragged game that would have resulted in defeat to most NBA teams on most nights.
