The Washington Wizards are back to chasing history. They lost by 33 points Friday night to the Chicago Bulls, and then topped themselves, losing by 41 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The game itself probably wasn’t as close as the final margin.
The Wizards did briefly take a one-point lead about nine minutes into the first quarter. From there, they were vanquished by one of the strongest teams in NBA history. At +12.3, Oklahoma City entered last night’s game with the largest strength of schedule adjusted scoring margin ever. They increased that number significantly in their stomping of the Wizards.
