ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Fans filed out of Capital One Arena Friday night with 1;39 left in the home team’s season, with Toronto in possession of the ball, a double-digit lead, and an upcoming appointment in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Turns out that Game 6 of the Wizards’ first-round series was pretty much a microcosm of the entire season. A real letdown.
Washington had its moments, but ultimately didn’t have enough to be a serious contender, especially not shorthanded against the Eastern Conference’s best team.
The final score was 102-92, with the Raptors having pulled away slowly and methodically over the last nine minutes.
