In their first game since returning from a victorious trip to London, the Wizards didn’t show any signs of jet lag. Washington jumped out to an early double-digit lead against the visiting Pistons and didn’t look back, notching a 101-87 win in the annual Martin Luther King Day matinee at Capital One Arena. With the win, the Wizards have now won four of their last five as they inch closer to playoff position.
Washington controlled the game from the outset Monday, using a big 19-4 run early in the first quarter to jump out to a double-digit lead after just one frame.
