Washington Wizards complete rare winless month

Then, after Marvin Bagley blocked LeBron James' layup attempt, the Lakers corralled the rebound and Austin Reaves tied it with 24 seconds left.

Then, in overtime, LeBron James blocked a Poole dunk that would have put the Wizards up five points.

The NBA went eight years without a winless month before the Pistons lost every game in November. Three months later, two teams went winless this February. The Portland Trail Blazers went 0-9 for the month as well. They came close to a win Feb. 8, when they lost in overtime to, who else, the Pistons.

Washington was a win away from avoiding NBA infamy. Now the Wizards and Pistons need one more win the rest of the way to avoid tying the 1972-72 Philadelphia 76ers for fewest wins in an 82-game season, with nine.

It's been a great season for terrible teams.
