Let’s take a quick look at how the Washington Wizards triumphed over the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Center in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Wizards now lead the series 1-0.

Ujiri admitted he would not yell anything similar about Washington this year out of respect for President Obama. Paul Pierce caused a stir in Canada by pontificating that he was not worried about Toronto in the playoffs because they lacked an “it” factor.
