The Nuggets trapped Beal at the top of the circle, he kicked the ball over to a wide open Bryant. Thomas had time and attempted a three pointer off the right wing. The young center's shot didn't fall and the Wizards had to foul. Gary Harris was sent to the line with his team still up by three. Harris wound up missing both free throws, but made up for it by tracking

Beal hits a career high nine threes as Wizards beat Grizzlies

Washington rebounded from a tough loss to the Hornets on Friday night with a 135-128 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Bradley Beal had another 40 point outing, this time on an extremely efficient 12-of-17 from the floor. He also connected on a career-high nine three pointers(9-of-12). As Scott Brooks lobbied for his star guard to make an All-NBA team, the Wizards were happy to move their record to 3-1 on this crucial home stand. Washington trails eighth place Miami by three ga

Six score in double figures as Washington pulls away late

The Washington Wizards had to earn the win over the visiting Dallas Mavericks. Despite getting throttled in Brooklyn earlier this week, the Mavs had been enjoying success over the Wizards. They had one the five previous matchups, but the Wizards were able to take care of business late, courtesy of back-to-back triples from Jeff Green that gave them separation late. Six players scored in double figures for Washington, including the entire starting five en route to the 132-123

Late rally falls short as Pacers hold on to beat Wizards

Washington found themselves in a hole late against the Pacers, twice they responded with runs to get back into it. The first was a 13-2 run that cut the deficit to just two points. Indiana as they had done all night, responded accordingly. The Wizards found it in themselves to come up with a frantic 10-2 run in the last 1:30. Thomas Bryant hit a three pointer on the right wing to cut the deficit to three. Washington got a stop on the ensuing defensive possession, but rushed t

Portis, Parker impress as Wizards beat Cavaliers

The Washington Wizards made a couple of moves prior to the trade deadline that changed the makeup of their team a bit. Obviously the news about John Wall rupturing his achilles played a role into Washington moving one of their "core" pieces in Otto Porter Jr. Markieff Morris was also traded prior to the deadline this week as well. Last night was the first opportunity for the players currently on the team to see how their new teammates would fit in. It's fair to say that it wa

Antetokounmpo, Bucks too much for Wizards

It was clear early the Washington Wizards were in for a long night, the Milwaukee Bucks have the ability to impose their will on opponents with their physical style of play. The Bucks closed quarters and halves strong like good teams tend to do. There was a pivotal stretch in their 131-115 win over the Wizards where the game was decided. The Wizards got off to a good start when Tomas Satoransky posterized Brook Lopez, but it was short lived. The Bucks got on track, closing th

Curry's 38 push Warriors past Wizards, extend win streak to nine

Balanced Wizards outlast Hornets, Walker's 47 points

The Washington Wizards were able to outlast the Charlotte Hornets and Kemba Walker's 47 points. The Wizards used a balanced effort to beat the Hornets 130-126, three different players scored 20 plus points and none of them were named Bradley Beal. It was a much needed win with the first reason being Washington needed it, the second was it came on a day when they found out John Wall would not be returning this season with that heel injury.

Kyrie Irving and John Wall were sensational in overtime. Boston started the period on a 7-1 run, but as had been the case most of the night, Washington responded. Kelly Oubre hit a triple to give the Wizards a 121-120 lead with 1:33 left. Irving hit two free throws as Boston regained the lead, but Markieff Morris scored for Washington. Down one and heavily guarded by Wall, Kyrie hit a very tough three pointer over John in front of the Boston bench. Wall responded with another

Nuggets play spoiler on Chenier's big night

On what was a special night for the Washington Wizards franchise, the Denver Nuggets played the role of spoiler. Wizards great Phil Chenier was honored as he had his jersey raised to the rafters. It was well deserving and a long time coming, but this current Wizards team couldn't top the evening off with a win. Turnovers and general lack of urgency played a big role in their falling into a hole they just couldn't climb out of. Baltimore native Will Barton scored 14 of his 23
