With the Washington Wizards‘ dominant win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, Scott Brooks‘ team has officially clinched a playoff spot.
Currently, the Wizards sit as third in the East, and just 3.5 games back from first place Cleveland. While the consensus has been that Washington won’t catch Cleveland, the team has proven skeptics wrong time and time again.
Coming out of a disappointing 2015-2016 season where the Wizards failed to make the playoffs, fans looked forward to free agency, as the Kevin Durant sweepstakes were finally beginning.
Fans across the DMV pulled out their KD2DC t-shirts and constantly refreshed Twitter for any news or rumor that said Durant would be coming home.
