The Washington Wizards and Sacramento Kings were both entering Monday’s contest desperately looking for a victory.
Washington (5-10) and Sacramento (7-10) both made coaching changes in the off-season, with the Wizards replacing Randy Wittman with Scott Brooks and the Kings replacing George Karl with Dave Joerger.
Both Brooks and Joerger were coming off successful coaching stints in the Western Conference and carried their respective teams to winning seasons year after year.
Thus far, neither coaching change has worked, as both teams haven’t gotten the results they hoped for at the beginning of the season.
