For Wizards fans, last night’s game against the Detroit Pistons felt like déjà vu all over again. Washington opened a lead in the second quarter, when into halftime up 16, ran the advantage as high as 17, and then coughed up the lead in the fourth quarter. The Wizards tried something new in the closing minutes — they reclaimed the lead and pulled out the win, 100-97.
If your snark detector is going off, it’s for good reason. The game was poorly played by both teams. Both offenses were horribly inefficient — and that’s phrased intentionally because neither team could be accused of defending well.
