Bobcats-Wizards Preview

Flip Saunders wants his Washington Wizards to play smart and have fun. Prized rookie John Wall seems to have no trouble grasping either concept.

Coming off the best performance of his young career, Wall looks to help the Wizards avoid losing to the visiting Charlotte Bobcats for the fifth consecutive time Friday night.

Wall barely missed his first career triple-double with 29 points, 13 assists and nine steals during a 116-115 home win over Philadelphia on Nov. 2. Eight days later, the No. 1 overall pick draft achieved that feat with 19 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds in Wednesday's 98-91 victory over Houston.

"Sometimes I get too excited trying to make a spectacular play instead of the simple play," Wall said. "I think I did the right thing with the simple plays."

Wall is averaging 19.3 points and ranks among the league leaders with 10.2 assists per game, but Washington (2-4) must find a way to win when the former Kentucky star doesn't put up gaudy numbers. He has scored fewer than 15 points in three of the club's four losses.

Forward Andray Blatche, who had 20 points and 11 boards Wednesday, has complemented Wall by averaging 17.5 points and 8.2 rebounds.

Looking for more cohesiveness and a better sense of urgency from his team, Saunders walked out of a practice Monday and then called for a second session later in the day. With more than half his roster comprised of players with three or fewer years of NBA service, Saunders is trying not to make things difficult on his club.

"It's back to fundamentals," Saunders told the Wizards' official website. "It's back to execution basketball. It's also about getting back to having fun and thinking about when you played when you were a kid and just had fun. What I want them to do is to realize the seriousness but not lose the passion of fun playing too."

The Wizards employed stifling defense Wednesday, allowing a season low for points while holding the Rockets to 39.1 percent shooting.

However, a lack of offense has plagued the Wizards against the Bobcats of late.

Washington has averaged 88.0 points while losing eight of nine to Charlotte. They averaged 81.0 on 39.4 percent shooting while dropping both home games to the Bobcats last season.

Blatche totaled 10 points in those contests.

Coming off their first-ever playoff appearance, the Bobcats (2-6) have started slow but both wins have come on the road. Charlotte had 13 road victories last season and didn't win its third game away from home until Jan. 3.

Stephen Jackson had 20 points and Gerald Wallace added 19 with 14 rebounds as the Bobcats snapped a three-game skid with a 101-96 win at Toronto on Wednesday.

"We still have a long way to go but I'm proud of them," coach Larry Brown said.

Wallace, who has double-doubles in three of his last five contests, averaged 17.8 points and 13.0 rebounds in four games against the Wizards last season.

Bobcats top Wizards 93-85 despite 24 turnovers

WASHINGTON(AP) It was an off night for just about everybody, except Gerald Wallace.

The Charlotte Bobcats beat the Washington Wizards 93-85 Friday night despite committing 24 turnovers. Wallace was the only starter who didn't have at least four.

The Wizards, meanwhile, were outrebounded by 18. Gilbert Arenas, of all people, was the team's second-leading rebounder with six, but he went 2 for 14 from the field. John Wall went 6 for 16 and had two layups blocked - both by Wallace.

So, what do the winners say after such a game?

"It's a miracle," Charlotte coach Larry Brown said.

And what do the losers say?

"The amazing thing is how we can even be in the game," Washington coach Flip Saunders said.

Wallace had 25 points and 14 rebounds and managed to show nearly as much flash as No. 1 overall pick Wall. Wallace scored 10 straight Bobcats points in a third-quarter spurt during which he also managed to come from behind and strip the ball just as the speedy rookie was going up for a fast-break layup.

When Charlotte outscored Washington 17-7 over the final 6:10 of the game, Wallace had a reverse layup, another block of a layup attempt by Wall, and a rebound of his own missed free throw.

Boris Diaw added 19 points for the Bobcats, and D.J. Augustin had 17 points and 10 assists.

Wall had 13 points, 11 assists and four steals - a bit short of the triple-double show he put on two nights earlier - and had trouble finding his shot. Still, he has a double-double in four of his first seven NBA games, including the triple-double Wednesday night against Houston.

Andray Blatche scored 22 points for the Wizards, and Kirk Hinrich had 14. Arenas, who continues to come off the bench as he shakes off the rust from recent ankle, knee and groin injuries - not to mention last year's suspension for a felony gun conviction - played a season-high 31 minutes and scored five points to go with six rebounds. He played as much as he did, according to Saunders, because he was the only player actually getting rebounds in the second half.

"I'm struggling with the shot right now," Arenas said. "It feels good every time it leaves my hand, it's just not going down. It comes with those three weeks that I missed, it's killing me right now. Because before I was on point with my shot."

For a change, Arenas sounded like a wise old vet as he addressed reporters, talking about the challenges of coming off the bench after years as a starter and the growing pains the Wizards will have to experience.

"We're young, and we're going to have to learn," Arenas said. "We're going to have to learn how to shut teams down and stop having mental breakdowns at the end of the games. ... It's still the learning process. I understood that coming in, and I wanted to be a part of it."

Neither team led by more than 10, and the score was tied at 78 with 5 minutes to go when Diaw hit a 3-pointer to give Charlotte the lead for good. Wallace followed with a reverse layup on a feed from Augustin, and Augustin then hit a 3-pointer to complete a 10-0 run and put the Bobcats ahead 86-78 with 3:31 remaining.

"We really needed that win," Diaw said. "We had a bad start to the season, so it's great. It will get us on a little roll."

Notes: Wallace also got the benefit of the doubt when he knocked over a stationary Yi Jianlian with the lead at six with 1:53 to play. After a huddle, the officials called the play a block instead a charge. "Terrible call," said Saunders. "We got a big break," said Brown. ... Wall had nine assists before halftime, giving him at least seven assists in each of his first six games. Oscar Robertson was the last rookie to have that kind of start, with 10 in a row in 1960. ... Augustin finally missed a free throw, ending a 22-for-22 start to the season. ... The Wizards became the latest team to ask their fans to remain standing from the opening tip until they score their first point. It wasn't a good night to try it. First of all, the attendance was sparse at tipoff at the Verizon Center, no one seemed particularly excited about it, and the fans had to wait 3:20 into the game before sitting because the Wizards missed their first nine shots. ... The announced attendance was 14,855, which means Wizards owner Ted Leonsis was spared another night of having to do Wall's "Dougie" dance. Leonsis says he'll do the dance when the Wizards get their first sellout - not counting games against the Lakers, Heat or Celtics. ... Midway through his postgame interview, Wallace was informed the showers were out of hot water. "It ain't the first time I've taken a cold shower," he said. ... The Bobcats swept the season series last year 4-0. ... Washington F Al Thornton felt a pain in his stomach during pregame warmups. He played only 21 minutes and left the game for good in the third quarter. "I might have pulled something," he said. "I'm not sure. but it was painful to move out there."

THE FACTS: The Charlotte Bobcats pounded the Washington Wizards relentlessy on the glass, out-rebounding them 48-30 to string together consecutive wins for the first time this season with a 93-85 victory at Verizon Center.

Gerald Wallace led the Bobcats (3-6) with 25 points and 14 rebounds. He provided the most electric play of the night in the fourth quarter when he chased down Washington rookie John Wall (13 points, 11 assists) and blocked what looked as if it might be an uncontested layup. Charlotte's D.J. Augustin more than held his own against Wall on the way to 17 points and 10 assists. Andray Blatche led Washington (2-6) with 22 points and nine rebounds.

QUOTABLE: "We have to finish games out. This is starting to become the same old bad story at the end of games. I'm running out of patience."
-- Blatche after Washington managed just two field goals in the final 6:57

THE STAT: The Hornets were so dominant on the boards that they were able to survive turning the ball over a season-high 24 times. .

TURNING POINT: With the score tied 78-78 with 6:10 left in the game, the Hornets scored eight unanswered points to put the game away.

QUOTABLE II: "They are going to be terrific. There is some great young talent over there and they have a good coaching staff to boot. It's going to take time."
-- Bobcats coach Larry Brown on the Wizards

HOT: Wallace continued his hot play in Washington. Wallace posted his fourth double-double of the season in the win over Washington and has now grabbed 28 rebounds in the Bobcats last two games.

ROOKIE WATCH: Wall notched his fourth double-double of the season.

NOTABLE: All but two of Wall's 11 assists came before halftime. .

UP NEXT: For the wizards, Saturday at Chicago, Tuesday vs. Toronto, Wednesday at Boston. For the Bobcats, Saturday vs. Utah, Tuesday vs. Minnesota, next Saturday at Miami.
