Every win for the Wizards the rest of the way will mean a lot, but two games this week in particular almost count double. Wednesday night against the Magic, Washington delivered on the first one. The Wizards’ second unit stepped up in a big way on their home floor to down Orlando, 100-90. Washington moved to a perfect 8-0 on the season when holding teams under 100 points.
Wednesday’s win was especially important in terms of the Eastern Conference playoff race, which is heating up with just 14 games remaining in the regular season. Following Wednesday’s results, the Heat remain 3.
