The Washington Wizards aren't eliminated from the playoffs just yet, but they're all but there after the brutal beating they received in Game 3.

Wizards star Bradley Beal knows the road back is near-impossible, but he had some words of wisdom for his D.C. side, via The Athletic's Fred Katz.

“I’m a huge fan of the word embrace. Embrace everything…And it’s the same thing with this. Embrace where we are…Everyday we have a day to win. Everyday we have a chance to win.”

The Wizards have been overmatched in every single game, but it's definitely been by no fault of Beal. The 3-time All-Star has scored 91 points through three games thus far, good for a 30.3 per game average.

But it's the supporting cast around him that hasn't been up to par. If Beal can rile up his Wizards teammates to keep up for Game 4, maybe they can salvage a win before bowing out against Joel Embiid and the Sixers.

Russell Westbrook, with his never-say-die attitude, just wants the Wizards to focus on Game 4.

While the deficit is all but insurmountable, I wouldn't bet against Westbrook actually believing that they're still in it. The Wizards and Sixers clash for Game 4 on Monday.
