The Washington Wizards haven’t won much this season, and the team has yet to celebrate a win in November, dropping all 13 games until the last day of the month.

The loss has taken its toll on the Wizards, but they have no choice but to continue playing along the road ahead.

Even with the loss, Wizards fourth-year pro Corey Kispert sees this as an opportunity.

“What we go through really tests you mentally and physically and emotionally and you have to keep reminding yourself that the really good players and the great ones in this league and even in life don’t run away from hard times. Hard times like this that we are in is what develops strong character and helps you move forward.” Kispert said.

Of course, the goal is not to “evolve” forever. Wins will come at some point, but the team will get to that point faster if it embraces the struggle and effort it takes.

Many NBA players have said how hard it is to win in the league, and it’s harder for some than others. For one Wizards teams without a lot of dynamic players that lead to wins, it’s harder for them to win games.

The team has talent, but with several players brand new to the league and who know how to play with each other, Wizards has undergone an adjustment period.

The Wizards is at a point in its losing streak where the losses can really start to take a toll. Losing 13 in a row is not easy, but as Kispert said, this will reveal the character of the team and determine which players are mentally tough to be with the team for a long time.
