On Sunday, the Washington Wizards hosted the New York Knicks. Although the Wizards lost, the night belonged to the 1978 NBA Championship team—the Washington Bullets.
The Wizards’ organization celebrated the 40th anniversary of their world champions.
Although it was a regular season game, history permeated throughout the night. Beginning with the jersey retirement of Phil Chenier on Friday, to honoring the 1978 champions at halftime.

Unfortunately, the Wizards lost to the Knicks in a close game, 101-97, and here are the takeaways.
