3 minutes into Game 6 of the NBA Restart in Orlando, the Wizards found themselves in a 10-0 hole... Not exactly the formula to get your first win of the Restart..
Chris Paul 's veteran leadership, along with a strong performance from his teammates led to a 121-103 win over Washington...
Still, Chris Miller. Quinton Mayo and Jimmy Patsos find a few bright spots --- including the play of Isaac Bonga, who continues to show flashes. And Jerome Robinson continued his good play of late.

Sunday's contest against Nets was as close to a "must-win" as you could get for the Wizards. But, career highs in points and rebounds by Thomas Bryant, and a stat stuffing performance from Troy Brown wasn't enough, as the Wizards fell short. A 118-110 loss drops them to 0-2 in the NBA's restart, with 6 games remaining on the schedule
Chris, Wes Hall and Quinton Mayo breakdown the highs and lows of the game - including the key to getting Rui Hachimura going again after a quiet game against Brooklyn.
And despite playing one of the East's best on the 2nd half of a back to back, you'll hear why a win against the Pacers isn't out of the question

And with the loss, and only 7 games remaining, is it too early to call the next game against the Nets a must win?

You'll also get the early skinny on some of the early action down in the Bubble - with impressive performances by the 2 likely contenders for this year's MVP Award.
