WIZARDS SUFFER EMBARRASSING LOSS TO KAT-LESS TIMBERWOLVES

After a shootout with the Houston Rockets on Thursday night, the Wizards returned to action last night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wizards came into the game with promise and with Karl Anthony Towns serving the first of a two game suspension for an altercation with Joel Embiid, they were primed to get their first win of the season. What happened was the complete opposite. The Wizards came out flat and uninspired and the Wolves jumped on them early. Poor shot selec

Wizards Outlook - Wizards lose home opener in shootout with the Rockets

In a barnburner the Washington Wizards fell to the Houston Rockets 159-158. The Wizards built a double-digit lead late in the third quarter and even held a solid lead late in the fourth. Turnovers and failing to do the little things would cost them in the end, after Beal tied the game at 158 by hitting three free throws. He had drew a shooting foul on P. J. Tucker while attempting a three. Harden drew a foul on Isaac Bonga with 2.4 seconds left, James would split the pair. Ru

Remember Them Days - Gilbert Arenas Game Winner Deflates Chicago

With the Series tied 2-2 and not wanting to go back to Washington down 2-3 to a feisty but dangerous Chicago team, the Wizards came out with a sense of urgency and appeared to be cruising to a game 5 victory after building a 108-98 lead with 41 seconds left. This was a hell of a feat especially with leading scorer Gilbert Arenas having a nightmare night, shooting in the low 30's from the field and having not made one three pointer all game. However, the Baby Bulls would not g

Wade FLASHback Fourth Quarter Is Too Much For The Wizards To Overcome

In his last appearance in DC as a player, 37 year old Dwyane Wade not only put on a show but proved to be the difference down the stretch of the game. Washington (30-44) and Miami (36-37) came in both fighting for their playoff lives, yet, the Heat walked out victorious, defeating the Wizards 113-108. Wade scored 11 of his team high 20 points in the fourth quarter while also grabbing 9 rebounds and dishing out 5 assist as chants of M-V-P echoed throughout Capital One. Jeff Gr

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.

The Washington Wizards found themselves down just five points with 1:56 left in the game. All they needed was a stop and they would of had the chance to make it a one possession game. Instead, Jeremy Lamb drew a foul while attacking the basket. He also managed to put up a floater that found the bottom of the net, the officials would give him the continuation, sending him to the line for a free throw. Lamb would convert, extending his team's lead back to eight and the Hornets
