The Numbers Crunch: Wizards are THAT team in loss to Detroit Pistons

It’s official: the Washington Wizards are that team.

The Detroit Pistons came to DC on an 18-game road losing streak. They’d lost 16 in a row in Washington. But, the Wizards are that team, and so Detroit snapped both skids and depart with their fourth win. In {checks notes} 40 games.

In defense of the Wizards, they’ve been almost as bad as the Pistons so far this season. Entering the game, I estimated the Wizards were about 9.7 points per game worse than league average. I had the Pistons at -10.9.

What makes this outcome classic #SoWizards?
