Saturday night’s meeting between the Wizards and Nets was an even playing field in one sense: both teams had traveled after playing (and losing) on Friday night and were looking for a quick rebound win. Washington got what it was looking for on its home floor, shooting 51.9% from the field and playing some of its best defense of the season on the way to a 102-88 victory.
The usual suspects headlined the Wizards’ win, as John Wall’s 30 points and nine assists on 12-of-24 shooting (3-of-6 from 3-point) gave the offense the charge it needed after a slow start.
