Wizards overcome Kemba’s 47 points in 130-126 win over Hornets
Just when you think you have this team all figured out, the Wizards turns in one of their best performances of the season with a 130-126 victory over the Charlotte Hornets Saturday evening. Seven Wizards players scored in double-figures led by Trevor Ariza with 24 points and a near triple-double with nine assists and seven rebounds.
This game had a somber feel from the start. After the news broke that John Wall would miss the remainder of the season to receive surgery on his heel, no one knew what to expect from the Wizards tonight. As a result, the Wizards looked stuck in the mud to start this one and found themselves in a quick 15-7 hole.
