With their postseason hopes dwindling, the Wizards went to Philadelphia to get pummeled by Most Valuable Player candidate Joel Embiid and former MVP James Harden. The loss lowered Washington’s record to 31-37, and left them in 12th place in the East — a half game behind the Chicago Bulls for 10th and a spot in the play-in.
The Wizards, who entered the season in with postseason aspirations and a “win now” push, are 3-7 in their last 10 and losers of three in a row.
Why’d they get housed by the Sixers? Bradley Beal, Kristaps Porzingis, and Kyle Kuzma — the triumvirate they’ve anointed as their Big Three — all played sorry, crappy, no-good games.
