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.

John Wall: 20+ Pts in 7 straight games (longest streak of career)

Wiz were down by 9 after 3. It is the 1st time in 199 ROAD games they trailed by 9 or more after 3 & came back to win. Since Jan 2001 @ ATL!

Randy Wittman just said he thought the Wiz BENCH made the difference tonight. 7th strait with 30 or more pts. Good gm for Porter.

Game 27: Pistons @ Wizards

John Wall goes for 20pts & 11a to lead the @WashWizards past @DetroitPistons 106-82. Ariza tallied 15-5-6 as the Wiz shot 50% w/ 34ast.

The Wizards completely dominated the Pistons tonight from start to finish.  Gortat & Ariza knocked off their holiday slump and combined for 31 points.  Beal was able to go, despite a knee bruise suffered a night before, and also contributed 15 points. The bench, led by Nene & Webster, added 30 points.  John Wall had himself another 20 point, 11 assist night.  Trevor Booker has been making the most of his starter minutes opportunity, with Nene coming off the bench, contributing 10 points, 9 rebounds & 4 assists.  With tonight's win the Wizards have moved into 5th place in the East and one win below .500 with one game remaining in 2013.

The Wizards will close out 2013 on the road against these Detroit Pistons where they hope to finish the year at .500.  They have a tuff week that follows which includes games vs the Mavs, Raptors & Warriors.
