This was exactly the kind of epic contest that comes around only once or twice a season (or in 2025, a weekend), the kind that occurs when titans from the East and West engage in a battle of wills from which only one can emerge victorious. Tonight, the Washington Wizards learned why head coach Brian Keefe needs to upgrade his cell service from Tracfone — the team didn’t get the message from the league office that defense had been authorized for the second half, and they fell, 132-120 to the New Orleans Pelicans (also known as the only team with a worse record than Washington).
