The Wizards were blown out by 36 points by the Dallas Mavericks Thursday night as they lost 136-101. It was actually much worse, as the Mavericks once held a 42 point lead on the road against the Wizards, who have now matched a franchise record of 16 consecutive losses. To put the magnitude of this into perspective, the Los Angeles Dodgers have won a game more recently than the Wizards. It’s only by a matter of hours, as the Wizards won a game against the Hawks on Oct. 30, just a couple of hours before the Dodgers clinched their World Series title at 11:50 p.m. ET with a 7-6 win against the New York Yankees in Game 5. With 16 straight losses under their belts, the Wizards are inching uncomfortably close to the league’s all time record, which was set by the Detroit Pistons just last season with 28 losses in a row
