In Basketball, the Washington Wizards lost a tight game at home against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The final score was 99 to 101. The Wizards redeemed themselves on Wednesday with a 95 to 93 victory over Charlotte.
Despite the win, the Wizards have officially been eliminated from the NBA playoffs. They are the first team in the Eastern conference to earn that distinction. Their next game is at home on Saturday against Detroit.
In Hockey, the Washington Capitals lost on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs in a game that was decided by a shoot out. The final score was 2 to 3. Brooks Laich scored the game tying goal with only 57 seconds left in the third period to save the Caps from losing in regulation. Toronto goalie Martin Gerber was ejected after incurring a game misconduct penalty for shoving a referee after Laich’s goal. Toronto’s backup goaltender Curtis Joseph, known as CuJo, had a stellar performance that ultimately decided the game. The Capitals play their next game tonight at home against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Keeping with Hockey, the NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey playoffs begin tonight. The nation’s top sixteen teams will be competing for a spot in the Frozen Four, which will be held right here in Washington, D.C at the Verizon Center.
