Owner Real Deal Posted January 30, 2013 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Based on the way they've played of late, the Washington Wizards are confident they can bounce back from their latest defeat and possibly end their struggles in Philadelphia. The Wizards look to avoid a fifth consecutive road loss to the inconsistent 76ers on Wednesday night. Washington (11-32) has won seven of 11 and is 6-4 since John Wall made his season debut after returning from a knee injury. The Wizards fell 96-94 to Sacramento on Monday as Isaiah Thomas hit a floater with 1 second left, the decisive basket in a game that featured 16 ties and no lead bigger than seven points. Emeka Okafor had 23 points with 15 rebounds while Wall scored 19 and Martell Webster added 18 for the Wizards. "I hope it does hurt us a little bit," Washington coach Randy Wittman said. "It stings." The Wizards shot 48.1 percent and recorded 20 assists but also committed 20 turnovers. "We fell victim to doing too much individually," Wittman said. "Whenever we have (as many) turnovers than assists, that means we're trying to do too much on an individual basis." While the defeat halted the Wizards' progress for the moment, they are poised to make corrections and move on. "We have to learn from those mistakes," Webster said. "We want to show everybody we can execute. We've got to make up for it in Philadelphia and I am confident we will." Though Washington has lost four straight at Philadelphia by an average of 21.5 points, it snapped a five-game skid in the series with a 97-76 home victory March 30.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/preview/NBA_20130130_WAS@PHI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
