If their record didn't indicate a full surrender, the Washington Wizards' performance Thursday certainly did.
Hosting the Indiana Pacers Thursday, the Wizards scored a highly respectable 109 points. The only problem was their opponent scored 162. Washington lost every quarter by at least eight points in its most embarrassing loss of a miserable season.
After the game, Pacers radio announcer Pat Boylan posted to social media a spate of impressive statistics from the game. Most notably, Indiana's total was the highest in any regulation NBA game since 2008.
The 162 points scored by the Pacers was a franchise record—no small feat for a team that began life in the offensive crucible of the ABA.
