We’re at that point in the season where winning close games can either make or break your playoff hopes.
The Washington Wizards lost their last game to the Indiana Pacers by one point. On Tuesday night, the Wizards started their west coast road trip against the Portland Trail Blazers and failed to secure another close victory. They had a double-digit advantage in the third quarter, squandered it and eventually lost in overtime.
Without Bradley Beal, the Wizards have been forced to rely even more on John Wall‘s production.
