If you want “bright side” this game, the Wizards led most of the way — by as much as 17 in the third quarter. If you want to get all technical and be a rotten-souled pessimist, you might note that the Wizards blew that 17-point lead and lost to the New York Knicks by four.
Which do you wanna be? A bright side optimist or a rotten-souled pessimist?
If you’re like me, you’re picking Door Number Three — semi-sober realist. The Wizards built a big lead because the Knicks played the first two-and-a-half quarters like they could barely be bothered.
