The Washington Wizards lost to the Detroit Pistons for the second straight night, falling 96-87 on Saturday night at Verizon Center in front of the most sparce crowd of the entire season. The few thousand fans who showed up were relatively quiet the entire game, except when they had the chance to win a free Chick-Fil-A sandwich of course.
The Wizards started off slow, scoring just 13 first quarter points after a late 5 point spurt to end the period. The Pistons had the lead the entire game but with some help from a college style half court trap, the Wizards cut the lead to 6 points in the 4th quarter. But every opportunity the Wizards had to steal the momentum they missed a shot or played poor defense to crush their chances.
Before the game Martell Webster came out and wished everyone a happy holidays and thanked fans for the support. However during the game the Wizards missed several layups and even a dunk and at times drawing small rounds of boos from the Verizon crowd.
