The Wizards lost to the Thunder 126-115 in overtime on Wednesday night, but the final score doesn’t really show how close the Wizards came to winning. Washington had a 7 point lead with 3:10 left in regulation before the Thunder came back to force overtime.
It’s the second time this season where the Wizards have lost a game where they had a 7 point lead with under 4 minutes left in regulation. The other game in October against Memphis, where the Wizards went into a prevent offense while Marc Gasol and Mike Conley caught fire for Memphis.
While the end result was the same, it’s important to note their most recent letdown followed a different script than their loss to the Grizzlies.
