The Wizards’ already terrible season reached a new low on Monday night with a brutal loss to the Raptors.
Washington entered the game at 2–7, having lost six of its previous seven games. Midway through the fourth quarter, though, it looked like the Wiz might pick up a long awaited win. A Bilal Coulibaly layup gave Washington a 106–90 lead with 7:25 to play—but then everything fell apart spectacularly.
A lot went wrong for the Wizards down the stretch, but the worst part was this play with just over five minutes remaining. The ball was deflected and went out of bounds, with possession being awarded to the Raptors. Kyle Kuzma wanted the Wizards to challenge the play and ran down toward the Washington bench to plead with the coaching staff to ask for a replay review. While Kuzma was on the other end of the floor, the Raptors inbounded the ball and scored an easy basket.
