The Washington Post celebrated this momentous night by giving all three teams equal time on the front of the sports section with the headlines "A blowout", "A boost", "... and a blast."

The Wizards took a 2–0 lead over the Raptors with their victory, while the Capitals evened up their series with the Islanders at 2–2, and the Nationals pulled to .500 on the year with an extra innings home run from Yunel Escobar.
