In Nene's absence Trevor Booker has made the most of his opportunities & that production continued tonight as Booker contributed 13 rebounds, 7 points, 2 steals and a blocked shot Trevor Booker's production will be important for the Wizards to be successful while not relying on so many minutes from their starters.
Trevor Booker with a career high 9 offensive rebounds tonight vs #Nets #Wizards

Marcin Gortat continues to get the job done down low for the Wizards with a double-double scoring 10 points & 10 rebounds. Martell Webster had a solid night off the bench with 13 points, making 2 of his 3 three point attempts. Not to be out done, Trevor Ariza & Bradley Beal each scored 15 points with a combined 6 of 12 from beyond the arc.
Wizards now 8-1 when shooting over 40% from long range. Shot 60% tonight.
ANOTHER GREAT WIN!
