The Wizards were finally able to get their first road victory of the season on Friday against an Orlando Magic team that can best be described as little brother—Washington has won 13 of the last 14 versus the Magic. Despite that dominance, the contest still came down to the wire (as it often has for the Wizards).
Playing what appeared to be their best basketball of the season, the Wizards built a 19-point lead in the first quarter, just to watch it all crumble as the team was barely able to reach the finish line.
