The last five minutes of overtime had all of the dreaded ingredients of an unsavory, malodorous, #SoWizards, late-game choke job. Both of Sacramento’s top two players, DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay, were on the bench for nearly five minutes midway through the fourth quarter. The Wizards scored 12 points and amassed an eight-point lead thanks to consecutive 3-point shots by Bradley Beal, while the Kings scored just two during that same stretch.
