The Washington Wizards were on quite the road trip, losing their past two games in Atlanta as their Eastern Conference first-round series is now tied 2-2.
The Washington Wizards seem to have lost their sights on the Atlanta Hawks. Playing away at a rowdy city is always tough, but the way the Washington Wizards are losing is hard to overlook.
During the first two games the Wizards all-around executed well as a team and it seemed possible to sweep the series against the Atlanta Hawks.
Although the Hawks looked lost at times, both games were pretty close throughout. The most recent losses from the Wizards on the other hand are troubling.
With a 19-22 record when playing away during the regular season, it should have been expected the Wizards would not fare well in Atlanta. However, just chocking two consecutive losses up “the Wizards just do not play well on the road” is inexcusable.
