Game four was the game of adjustments for Scott Brooks and the Washington Wizards. It started with Daniel Gafford being inserted into the starting lineup, his first start as a member of the Wizards. It ended with the debut of a defense we hadn’t seen from the Wizards before game four: the Hack-a-Ben. Oh, and it also ended with a win.

At one point in game four, it actually looked like the Wizards might cruise to a comfortable victory. That was until Tyrese Maxey and Furkan Korkmaz erased a 12-point fourth-quarter Wizards lead.
