The Washington Wizards made the commitment in the off-season to take care of their Core an pay their Franchise Point Guard turned to Point God and John Wall has not disappointed. Behind a furious 4th frame from the Wiz Kids DC they comeback from a 87-78 end of the 3rd frame deficit to beat the Pistons capping what the New Wiz are all about...follow his lead in John Wall.

Wall was magnificent as the Pistons Guards could do nothing with him once he got rolling. Wall had 29 points, four boards, and seven assists while attacking the Pistons at every rip. A 14 of 15 from the Charity Stripe also show you how he understands the NBA GAme when you don't let the "D" off the hook and stay in attack mode an at least get to the stripe. Wiz Small Forward Trevor Ariza who has had a rebirth in the 2013-14 season added 15 points, eleven boards, and four helpers with Beal dropping 13, Ne Ne 11, and Martell Webster 10. The Wiz shot right at 50% from the field and nearly 80% from the line and that put a check mark in the Win Column.

The Pistons Mammoth Front Line led by Greg Monroe's 22 points and ten boards, Andre Drummond's 16 and 16, and Josh Smith aka J-Smoove 5's 16 points, nine boards, and six helpers were not enough. It was the Pistons lack of good FT Shooting as they shot 60% and committed 16 turnovers. The Pistons Guards should no way go from the scheme of Inside/Out with the Bigs they have in the paint. That is a disappointing night from the stripe considering if they shoot 80% they win the ball game or at least send it to OT.

The Wiz move to the .500 mark at 14-14 and in the east that is winning a lot. The Pistons fall to 14-19 and that is not good for a Team with high expectations and more Talent than anyone besides the Pacers in the NBA Central.
