If each new futile performance makes you feel like the Wizards are being punished by some higher power, know that you’re not alone. While watching the Wizards shoot over 55 percent from the field against Houston and yet still trail by double digits for the entire second half, punishment was the first thing that came to my mind.
Like Sisyphus rolling his boulder up the hill over and over just to see it come crashing back down to the base, so too did the Wizards score again and again on the Rockets’ defense only to see them splash three-pointer after three-pointer in return.
