With a 3-17 record entering their most recent matchup (at home, no less) against the Boston Celtics, the Washington Wizards had little momentum in the way of making positive history to look back on this season. While last season’s 18-64 overall cume felt like a surefire indication that the 2025-26 crew would have to improve, the team’s current trajectory sees them finishing with one of the worst win totals in NBA History.
Not to mention that, against Boston, the Wizards added themselves to a particularly dire bit of Celtics of history. As one of the most consistently dominant franchises in the league as a whole, Boston has an especially impressive resume of leads away from home. The main through-line is, of course, the embarrassment of losing by enough to make this list for any given featured team.
Joining the Ranks
But beneath that lies a squad that recurs more than anyone else. It’ll be no shock to fans in D.C. to learn that it is their team seen most often amongst the fray, and that their aforementioned most recent loss joined the ranks as one of the absolute worst. To boot, the Wizards have been added to this list three times in the last six that Boston has traveled to Washington.
