Wizards watch

The Washington Wizards won for the 13th time in their last 16 outings, defeating Orlando 112-111. This is the 13th straight game in which the Wiz have scored more than 100. Gilbert Arenas had 36, his average since the team’s hot streak began. He’s almost made me forget Earl “the Pearl” Monroe.
The win moved Washington into first place in the NBA Southeast. It’s the first time in 28 years that the franchise has been in first after Christmas.
