The Wizards ended one franchise-worst streak in New Orleans two nights ago but set a new mark tonight, in the process finding a way to bring up history that is longer than Phil Chenier‘s 25-year tenure as the team’s TV color analyst, which was celebrated beforehand.
With the 95-87 defeat to Chicago, Washington has now lost nine games in a row at home, one greater than the previous mark of eight, which was set 43 years ago (1966-67) by the then-Baltimore Bullets. As has been pointed out, the next year the Bullets got Earl “The Pearl” Monroe in the draft that offseason. But silver linings won’t ease the pain until the current campaign is mercifully over.
