The Washington Wizards are still loss-less for the 2023-24 NBA preseason. They upset the Charlotte Hornets, 98-92 on Thursday night at home in Capital One Arena.
While the final score was a victory, Washington trailed for most of this game, going in line with most of the bookies’ and NBA experts’ predictions on how the Wizards will do. But that all changed with a 35-17 fourth quarter which made the difference in this one.
I really am trying not to sound sarcastic or sound like I’m “hating” on the Wizards. But I am making a concerted effort to temper any expectations about this team, even if winning is contagious, and if this team overachieves its expected position as the worst team this season in the NBA.
