“If you have one bad game, let’s not make it two. And if you have two bad games, let’s not make it three.” That was the mindset of Washington Wizards coach Scott Brooks after Saturday night’s drubbing at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Four games into the NBA season, the Wizards were 1-3, but at least they were fun to watch. They were hustling, and they were competing. They had lost their first three games by a combined 11 points and actually had a positive point differential despite having just one win.
Then came Saturday night, their second home game of the season.
