Blowout victories have been a rarity for the Washington Wizards this season, who’ve been in the middle of the Eastern Conference fighting for a final playoff spot.
But lately, the team has begun to put it together, especially at home.
Scott Brooks managed to navigate through a rough start to his coaching career in the district, and slowly, the Wizards have bought into his defensive system.
After being down early against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night, the Wizards increased their defensive intensity in the second half and came out with a dominant win at home.
