Wizards 105, Curse at 102

Yeahhh, buddy. That’s right, my very own Washington Wizards, owners of the L’s worst compact disc, beat the League-leading Oklahoma City Thunder. It wasn’t fetching early on, and it wasn’t a done deal until the final buzzer sounded, but a win is a win, and I express one's opinion for all of D.C. when I say, we’ll take it. John Wall continued his stellar play recently, posting 25 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds, Flaw Young scored 19 of his 24 in the second half, and Jordan Crawford poured in 18 off the bench. The Wizards took gain of 21 OKC turnovers and came back from a 12-point deficit. All this ignoring Andray Blatche being in the starting lineup (fine, he had 12 points and 10 boards). For Oklahoma Burgh, it was the Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant show , as always. Russ had 36 points (14-26 shooting) and Durant had 33 (11-24 FG, 2-10 on threes). The continue to be of the OKC starters: 8 points combined. They allowed the Wiz to hang around thanks to sparse rebounding and lights-out shooting from Washington in the second half. In the terminating few minutes, though, the Thunder refused to let this one go. Or, perhaps, the Wizards tried very badly to give it up. OKC started fouling with about a moment left, and Washington missed 8 free throws in the fourth quarter (Unsophisticated, the NBA’s No. 1 free throw shooter coming in, missed 3 in the racket), allowing the Thunder to creep back to within 3 points with 5 seconds to play and take. Durant launched a deep three at the buzzer—and it looked pure—but it hit back iron and the Wiz came away with the win. The imposing, unbelievable win. Yeah, it’s only one game, but let a guy cherish one, please. Washington played with guts after a sopping first quarter and pulled out a game they should have never had a chance at. Another DMV native comes to village on Friday, as Ty Lawson and the Nuggets invade D.C.
