Until Friday night, the Washington Wizards seemed to be in a great zone that could lead them to at least the NBA play-ins, but the roller coaster ride for Wes Anseld Jr. and his players continues when, after blowing a 20-point lead against Portland, the capital team was embarrassed once again Tonight (between Saturday and Sunday) this is after they dropped a 23-point lead against the injured and stormy Brooklyn Nets and surrendered 125:123 in the Big Apple.
The Nets were missing the injured Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving who sat out due to ankle pain a day after asking to leave the club in a trade and Ben Simmons and Seth Curry.
Washington ended the third quarter with a 92:99 lead, but the host made a great turnaround for them when Cam Thomas steals the show and with a huge night and a career high of 44 points again causes a lot of questions around Washington.
Edmund Sumner also finished with a Nets career high with 29 points and Nick Claxton contributed 15 points and 13 assists.

And if we become a bit provincial again, then we can be very happy with Danny Avdia's performance.
After a weak game against Portland, in which he did not score at all, the Israeli forward finished the game with 23 points (6 of 14 from the field, 4 of 9 from three), 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals.
Krispets Porzingis scored 38 points for Washington but it should not have helped to get a win.
In the next game between Monday and Tuesday, Washington will host Cleveland.
