The Washington Wizards wrap up their season series with the Detroit Pistons on Friday night. This is a game that will not go down as a significant game in the standings, but both team’s fanbases would probably argue losing to the other team would be a letdown.
For the Wizards, their play has been much better as of late. Despite losing Wednesday’s game, the Wizards pushed the Nets into overtime, and before that game, won their previous three games. What has propelled the Wizards, in part, is the improved play of Jordan Poole. Wednesday, Poole put up a season-high 38 points, along with 7 rebounds and 8 assists.
