Wizards Overall Postseason

The wizards postseason ended disappointingly when they lost in the first round to the Toronto Raptors. The Wizards were able to win two home games however, pushing the series to 6 games before losing 4-2. The raptors won the firs two and last two games in the series. John Wall played very well and did all he could to push his team forward, but the rest of the team wasn’t putting out as much hustle. Bradley Beal had good moments through the game, but was unable to make any shots in clutch time when the Wizards needed him most. In fact, one game the Wizards were down by a couple baskets with 5 minutes left when Beal got fouled out. The Wizards still came back and won to tie up the series. Image result for beal fouls out vs raptors

The Wizards ended up winning byu double digits that game, showing that although Bradley Beal had 31 that game, they didn’t need him to close out the game. Otto Porter was also injured throughout the series which showed as he did not play as well. He still played in the first 5 games before sitting out due to surgery. Otto Porter could have been a game changer and pushed the Wizards to win the series.

Wizards Vs Celtics 3/14

The wizards pulled off a tough comeback win in double overtime to beat the celtics 124-125. The Wizards were down by 20 in the first half, but pulled it back in the second and were down by three with 5.5 seconds left after the ref called the ball out of bounds on a celtics player. They passed it in to Otto Porter who drove in and instead of taking a wide open layup, he passed it out to Jodie Meeks who hit the three to tie the game.

In overtime, the wizards came out hot, taking a 7 point lead but the celtics had a comeback to bring it within two points. On the final play of the game with celtics ball, down by two Jayson Tatum drives in, gets fouled and makes the layup. He ties the game up but misses the free throw to send it to double OT.

In double OT the game is pretty close throughout the whole time but Wizards go up by 1 with celtics ball for the last possession. Jayson Tatum gets a good look at a three pointer, but misses and the wizards hold on for the win.

The Celtics were playing without Kyrie Irving, Al Horford, and Jaylen Brown
