The Wizards are playing inspired basketball as of late. Last night they defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 119-114. Washington's star trio combined for 94 points (Jamison 35, Arenas 34, and Butler 25). Arenas and Jamison are already chosen to play on the USA Olympics team. Washington is pushing for the playoffs again this year in the East. They climb to 32-30 on the season, hoping to stay above .500 and not have to worry about fighting to clinch a final seed in the conference.
Leading the way is Gilbert Arenas, who averages 29.1 ppg on 44% shooting from the field. He's going to be the key component down the stretch. With the offensive firepower of Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler, a sole scoring reliance won't be an issue. Also Antonio Daniels is another asset at the point, coming up with big shots at times and getting other teammates involved. Washington will have to go toe-to-toe with the budding competition of the Cavs, Bulls, 76ers, Heat, and Mavs. We'll see how resilient this team is in the final months of the regular season.
