WASHINGTON -- Here's a message for Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers: Be warned. The Washington Wizards just don't lose at home anymore.
Fueled by John Wall's mid-game surge, the Wizards ran past the Philadelphia 76ers 109-93 on Saturday night for their 11th straight win at home, the longest active streak in the NBA. Washington (20-19) hadn't won 11 in a row at home since a 15-game streak during the 1988-89 season as the Washington Bullets.
The chance for a dozen straight comes Monday afternoon against Portland when the teams meet on the Martin Luther King Jr.
