The guys of Wes Anseld Jr. were outside the playoff zone, however, the reason lies in a large number of injuries, since each time the club had to rebuild. Now the situation has stabilized somewhat, plus helpful is the close return to the floor of the leader Bradley Bill. Washington was forced to drop to the second line of the Eastern Conference due to two defeats in a row. At first, the “wizards” could not compete with the “Philadelphia”, although the meeting took place at home (96:117). Spencer Dunwiddy tried to lead his teammates, but nothing came of it. In the last confrontation, the Wizards stayed in Miami, where there was an attempt to beat the Oks, but it was not crowned with success (112:119). As you can see, the situation is not the best, so they will have to rehabilitate themselves, because it is unlikely that the plans of the capital club include another defeat.
The Hawks were outside the top ten. It is painful to look at the club, but nothing can be done about it, since almost half of the team has been quarantined and the other half are injured. This situation, of course, affected the overall result. In the last five matches Atlanta managed to get just one victory, when they sensationally beat Philadelphia on the road (98:96). This was followed by a defeat at New York (87:101) and Chicago (118:130). Nate McMillan’s guys will try to take revenge for the previous defeat, but it will be difficult to show a class with such losses. The Hawks will face an ordeal.
