Kings Conquer; Wizards Blow it in the Fourth

The Wizards home win streak is snapped at five after a fourth quarter collapse Monday night against Sacramento 96-94.
The Wizards led for the majority of the game but because of poor offensive decisions and 20 total turnovers they found themselves down in the final minutes. Every player who entered the game for Washington recorded at least one turnover except for Garrett Temple who played less than a minute.
Isaiah Thomas (no relation to the Hall of Famer from Detroit) made a running layup in the final seconds to take the lead for the Kings for good. Thomas led the Kings with 22 points on the night.
Emeka Okafor continued to be an absolute beast for Washington. Okafor set his season high in scoring Monday night with 23 and snagged 15 rebounds. Okafor found success with his mid range jumper and scored consistenly in the lane as well.
John Wall had 19 points and six assists driving to the basket almost at will. Martell Webster also had an impressive offensive night scoring 18 but for some reason was absent from the court for most of the fourth quarter.
Instead Randy Wittman went with a heavy dose of Trevor Ariza and Jordan Crawford in the fourth. The Wizards then proceeded to make terrible shot selections and turned the ball over at an alarming rate. Even with the offense struggling, Wittman kept Webster on the bench until the final minutes.
Wizard fans may also question Wittman's play calling in the final minute, with the Wizards tied late the attempted to post up Nene with no success. On the night Nene had just four points and six turnovers leaving Wizard fans wondering, "Why not feed the hot hand, Webster, Wall, or even Okafor?"
It's clear Washington is a different squad now that they are healthy and excuses for Wittman can no longer be made. The Wizards should have won tonight but too many turnovers combined with a few questionable coaching decisions doom them to their 32nd loss of the season.

Washington's Win Streak Hits a Wall

Despite playing well the Wizards couldn't seal the deal late Wednesday night in Sacramento losing to the Kings 95-94.
John Wall missed two free throws with 30 seconds left that eventually cost the Wizards their fourth straight win. The Wizards move to 1-16 on the road this season.
Bradley Beal set a new career high tonight dropping 26 in with a variety of shots. Beal did it all Wednesday night; he took charges, had six assists, made contested three point shots and had some big time dunks. If Beal continues to progress at this rate he will be the favorite for Rookie of the Year.
It wouldn't be fair to blame the entire loss on John Wall, he did after all have a double double with 14 points and ten assists in 26 minutes off the bench. Washington as a whole played it's sloppiest game since Wall's return and should have blown out a sub par Sacramento Kings squad led by Jimmer Fredette.
Martell Webster Dunks On DeMarcus Cousins (Watch It)
Nene did his best to keep the Wizards in the lead down the stretch, the Brazilian had 16 points 9 rebounds and six assists. Kevin Seraphin managed 16 points but still leaves Wizard fans angry with his odd shot selection and questionable defense.
Jan Vesely had a quiet game after going for double digits in his last three. Tonight Vesely saw only ten minutes and failed to score with just one shot attempt. But he wasn't nearly as bad as Trevor Ariza who also failed to score going 0-6 from the field including botching an open layup in the final minutes.
The Wizards now must patch up the sloppy play and get ready to play their toughest back to back games thus far. Friday they will be in Denver for a JaVale McGee Reunion and Saturday they will be in Lob city to take on the red hot Clippers.
