If you’re rooting for Wizards wins, last night’s game was a good one. Russell Westbrook and LeBron James played well for the Lakers, and Washington won anyway because Tomas Satoransky went cautiously berserk , and the team’s bench was productive.
James passed Karl Malone for second all-time in regular season points with 38 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. Westbrook chipped in with 22-10-8. The outstanding performances from each wasn’t enough, however, as the Wizards overcame a 16-point deficit to win.
For Washington, the story of the game was Satoransky, who scored 16 points on 6-6 shooting from the floor, 2-2 from three-point range, and 2-2 from the free throw line.
