The Wizards reached .500 & improved to 14-14 on the season by winning their final game of 2013 vs the Pistons in Detroit.  The Wizards overcame a 9 point 4th quarter defecit led by John Wall  who continues to play at an All Star level scoring 20+ points in 7 consecutive games.  Unlike the start of the season, the Wizards bench continues to make solid contributions, scoring 30+ points in 7 consecutive games also.  The team is healthy, firing on all cylinders, and ready to make a run in 2014.

Game 26: Wizards @ Timberwolves

The Wizards returned to action Friday night in Minnesota vs the Timberwolves but came out flat and were never able to get into this game.  John Wall had an excellent first half scoring 22 points, however that production was off set by Ariza & Gortat being shut out in the first half.  By the time the team started getting their act together in the 2nd half it was too late to mount a comeback.  Bradley Beal went down in the fourth quarter in pain and had to be carried off the court.  Apparently he knocked knees with another player.  The Wizards have two more games remaining in 2013 with the opportunity to reach .500 before years end still alive.
