The Wizards dropped a heartbreaker on Friday night in Charlotte after battling back late in the fourth quarter to briefly lead. It was a critical game for playoff positioning, as the other two teams immediately ahead of Washington (Orlando and Miami) also won Friday. Bradley Beal and co. will need to have a short memory, as they’ll be right back at it Saturday night in Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves. In second games of back-to-backs this season, the Wizards are 8-3 entering play Saturday.
