After a 3-1 start, the Washington Wizards have crashed back down to earth. Washington dropped three consecutive games against Indiana, Boston, and Philadelphia before getting revenge over the Sixers with a win on Wednesday.
The win over Philly in the second matchup (combined with Bryce Harper’s Phillies getting no-hit in the World Series) was a welcomed sight. Washington put up their best offensive game of the season in that game with a 131.9 offensive rating, according to Cleaning The Glass. Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis efficiently combined for 59 points. Outside of horrendous three-point shooting (5/21), the game showed what Washington’s offense could be.
