losing streak in Game 1 on Saturday evening, but another streak was also broken. The Wizards 114-106 loss marked the first time in the John Wall era that the Wizards lost a game one to open the playoffs. Toronto used their superior depth to make a fourth quarter run that would seal the fate for the Wizards.
One of the factors in the Wizards loss, was Toronto’s ability to contest all of John Wall’s layups at the rim and, which caused him to leave potential points on the floor. In only his sixth game back from his two-month hiatus, the Wizards’ franchise player continues to shake off the rust on his way back to All-Star status.
