Washington Wizards: 5 keys for the home stretch of the regular season

4. Win their final three games

The Washington Wizards’ remaining schedule is against the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic. They are a combined 7-2 against that trio of opponents, making it vital to end their regular season with a bang.

The Wizards are on a three-game losing streak with a game coming up against the Hawks on Friday night. There’s not much time to dwell on Thursday’s collapse. The best thing they can do is make adjustments and take all their frustration out on their opponent on Friday night.

Washington overcame a lot of things in their game against Cleveland, it just didn’t finish. The Wizards have had their fair share of slow starts and bad finishes this season. On Sunday afternoon, they fell 113-94 to the Chicago Bulls with John Wall out of the lineup.

The Washington Wizards need to back to playing their brand of basketball, which involves sharing the ball and getting good shots. They had 34 assists against the Cavaliers, but still lost in the end. It’s a perfect time to focus on playing complete games of basketball. The playoffs come down to converting on each possession in many series. Now isn’t the time to fall apart.
