The 2013–14 Washington Wizards season is the 53rd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 41st in the Washington, D.C. area. Having a record of 44–38, their best record since the 2004-05 NBA season, including a 22-19 road record, their best since the 1996-97 NBA season as the Washington Bullets, the Wizards clinched playoff berth for the first time since the 2007-08 NBA season. The team beat the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the 2014 NBA playoffs. It was only the third time a Wizards team advanced past the opening round since losing the 1979 NBA Finals.
