Wizards-Warriors Preview

The Golden State Warriors put on an impressive offensive display in their first game back home after a disappointing road trip.

Failing to win as the visiting team has become all too familiar for the Washington Wizards.

Coming off their highest scoring output of the season, the Warriors will try to hand the Wizards a 10th consecutive road loss Sunday night.

Golden State (31-42) sits in 12th place in the Western Conference, nine games behind Memphis for the eighth and final playoff spot. With only nine games remaining, it's all but assured of missing out on the playoffs for the 16th time in 17 seasons.

The Warriors had allowed an average of 115.3 points while losing six straight, including all four games on their recently completed trip. But they returned to Oracle Arena and routed Toronto 138-100 on Friday night thanks largely to season-best 61.4 percent shooting.

Seven players scored in double figures while four had at least 21 points. The Warriors were especially prolific in the first half, scoring an NBA season-high 84 points.

"I wanted to send a message to our team that we are building," coach Keith Smart said. "This is a process. The way we have always done it at this time of year, to sit back and not play, you've got your better players on your team who want to play and will play, and that's a good thing."

Washington (17-54), meanwhile, dropped its ninth straight on the road with a 114-94 loss at Denver on Friday night.

Although they lost in double overtime to the Clippers on Wednesday, the Wizards have been outscored by 21.0 points per game during the first three stops of a five-game trek and are an NBA-worst 1-34 away from home.

Only the 1990-91 Kings have finished 1-40 on the road.

"We don't look at our road record like that," said rookie Jordan Crawford, averaging 19.9 points over his last nine games. "We have only one win, but we still go out there believing we can win."

Washington, which has taken a lead into halftime as the visiting team just five times all season, couldn't recover from a 15-0 Nuggets run to close out the first quarter.

"It hurt," said Crawford. "That's what's killed on the road is our first halves cause we always play better in the second half. The first half always kills us."

Nick Young, scoring a team-best 17.6 points per game, finished with 10 on 4-of-15 shooting off the bench Friday in his first game back since missing five with a bruised left knee.

Young is averaging 11.5 points on 32.8 percent shooting in his last four games, but he scored 31 in a 106-102 loss to Golden State on March 2. Andray Blatche had 20 points, nine rebounds and six assists, but he has missed eight straight games with a shoulder injury and is unlikely to return Sunday.

Stephen Curry, second on Golden State with 18.3 points per contest, scored 29 on March 2 and is averaging 27.7 against the Wizards over his career - his second-most versus any opponent. The Warriors have won four straight and 12 of 16 when Curry scores more than 20 points.

Warriors swingman Dorell Wright is averaging 30.0 points on 71.9 percent shooting over his last two games.

Golden State had won three straight home matchups with Washington before falling 118-109 on Dec. 18, 2009, despite 57 combined points from Curry and Monta Ellis.

Ellis leads Warriors past Wizards, 114-104

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Even though it has been a formality for weeks, the Golden State Warriors were officially eliminated from the playoffs on Sunday.

Apparently nobody told Monta Ellis.

Ellis had 37 points and a career-high 13 assists in one of his most complete games of an already spectacular season, leading the Warriors past the road-weary Washington Wizards, 114-104.

"This is our job. We're pros. Our season is not over with yet," Ellis said. "We still have eight more games, just go out there and see how many we could win and finish it off strong."

The Warriors (32-42) have already won six more games than they did last season, and Ellis seems intent on making that number climb even higher. He played the entire game, added seven rebounds and was 14 for 24 shooting.

David Lee had a season-high 33 points and 12 rebounds, and Dorell Wright added 19 points to help the Warriors to their second straight victory. Ellis was three rebounds shy of his first career triple-double entering the fourth quarter and never came closer.

"I think this young man here is committed to turning this franchise around," Golden State coach Keith Smart said. "I really believe he is doing everything he can to put us in the right position with his play, particularly here at home, to move us in the right direction."

Washington continued its season-long slide away from the nation's capital.

JaVale McGee had a career-high 28 points and tied his career best with 18 rebounds, and Maurice Evans scored 23 points for the Wizards, who have lost four straight and 10 of their last 11 games. They also dropped to 1-35 on the road this season.

"We're not good enough," Wizards coach Flip Saunders said.

"That can be frustrating. But that's like if I run you in a race I'm going to probably beat you all 10 times because you're not as fast as me," Saunders joked. "Same thing right now. We're just young and not as talented as the teams we're playing."

About the only thing either team is still playing for is pride.

Both are already assured of missing the playoffs - the Warriors were officially eliminated when Memphis beat San Antonio earlier Sunday, and the Wizards (17-55) are closer to the league's worst record than anything resembling the postseason - so there wouldn't seem to be a ton of motivation left.

Not that it showed.

The teams were in a constant sprint from the outset and traded baskets with little regard for defense. The Wizards, whose only road victory came at Cleveland on Feb. 13, had a rare night when they were competitive on the road.

For a half, anyway.

Then everything unraveled - as it always seems to away from home for the Wizards - after the break, and it didn't help that starter Nick Young had to sit out the second half with a sore left knee, which the team said will sideline Young on Monday night at Utah. The Warriors started the third quarter on a 19-8 run that was capped by their most stunning series.

Ekpe Udoh swatted a shot by Othyus Jeffers off the backboard, and Ellis sprinted up court to lead the fast break. He dished the ball to Lee for a dunk and the foul over No. 1 overall pick John Wall, and Saunders added to his team's misfortunes with a technical foul for arguing.

A few plays later, Ellis added to his acrobatic night with a complete back-to-the-basket spin in the air and finished with a reverse layup over Evans that brought fans to their feet and helped Golden State go ahead by 11 points.

"I was definitely shocked," Evans said. "If I would have known he was going to do all that, I would have fouled him. But he made a great athletic play. It was an incredible play."

Although the Wizards came within a point early in the fourth quarter, they were never able to tie the score or sustain any type of momentum. The Warriors quickly went back ahead by double digits and cruised to the victory.

NOTES: Warriors C Andris Biedrins missed his sixth straight game with a severely sprained left ankle. He is expected to be out at least another two games. ... Washington F Trevor Booker did not play after injuring his right foot in a loss at Denver on Friday. Saunders said he wasn't sure how long the injury could sideline Booker but would not rule him out for the season just yet. ... The Warriors recalled G Jeremy Lin from the Reno Bighorns of the NBA Development League. He will rejoin the team at Oklahoma City on Tuesday night.

Wizards-Warriors notebook

Posted Monday March 28, 2011 1:02AM

THE FACTS: Monta Ellis scored 37 points, dished out a career-high tying 13 assists and grabbed seven rebounds, leading the Golden State Warriors to a 114-104 victory Sunday night over the Washington Wizards at Oracle Arena. David Lee added 33 points and 12 rebounds for the Warriors, who were officially eliminated from playoff contention before their game tipped off when Memphis beat San Antonio. Center JaVale McGee had a career-high 28 points, 18 rebounds, tying his career high, and five blocks for Wizards, whose road record fell to 1-35 this season. Yi Jianlian had a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

QUOTABLE: "I think this young man is committed to turning this franchise around. I really believe that he is doing everything he can to ... move us in the right direction."
-- Warriors coach Keith Smart on Ellis.

THE STAT: Both Ellis and Lee had double-doubles and cracked the 30-point mark. The last time a Warriors duo accomplished that feat was Jan. 27, 1997, against the Vancouver Grizzlies when Joe Smith had 30 points and 12 rebounds and Latrell Sprewell tallied 33 points and 11 assists.

TURNING POINT: Leading just 94-93 with less than eight minutes to play, the Warriors went on a 14-3 run to build a 108-96 lead. Lee and Dorell Wright scored six apiece during the surge, with Wright nailing a pair of 3-point shots.

QUOTABLE II: "We ran out of gas. Nick (Young) went down, he was hurt. Without (Trevor) Booker we were undermanned going in. Especially the pace here. Golden State plays at a fast pace. We can play at that pace, but we just didn't have enough."
-- Wizards coach Flip Saunders

HOT: Ellis averaged just 12.5 points during the Warriors recent four-game, winless road trip, but he's definitely back on track. He scored 27 and had 10 assists on Friday against Toronto at Oracle Arena and nearly had his first career triple-double against Washington, coming three rebounds short while playing all 48 minutes. Ellis had 25 points, six assists and two rebounds by halftime. Ellis recorded back-to-back double-doubles for the second time in his career.

NOT: The Warriors bench combined for just 11 points and was outscored by 17 points. Reggie Williams scored seven points in 19:43, former Wizard Al Thornton four points in 18:58 and Lou Amundson zero in 9:01.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Wizards center JaVale McGee had a double-double by halftime with 22 points and 11 rebounds and finished with 28 and 18 to go with five blocks, taking his recent hot streak up a notch. In his previous five games he had averaged 14.0 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks.

GOOD MOVE: It's not as if Saunders had much of a choice with so many of his players injured, but getting backup small forward Maurice Evans on the floor for 36:27 was a decidedly good move. He scored 23 points off the bench, hitting 8 of 15 shots, and grabbed eight rebounds.

ROOKIE WATCH: Warriors power forward Ekpe Udoh, starting his sixth straight game, had four points, seven rebounds and three blocks. Udoh moved into the starting lineup after center Andris Biedrins suffered an ankle injury that has sidelined him the past six games. Udoh entered the game averaging 1.33 blocks per game, tops among rookies.

NOTABLE: Wizards starting small forward Trevor Booker missed the game after injuring his right foot Friday against Denver. Nick Young started in his place in a three-guard alignment. Coach Saunders gave no timetable for Booker's return, saying he could be out anywhere from a few days to the rest of the season. Young played the entire first quarter but just 1:10 of the second before leaving the game with a sore left knee. He did not return. Young returned to action Friday against Denver after missing five games with a bruised left knee. ... Wizards small forwards Andray Blatche (right shoulder), Josh Howard (left knee) and Rashard Lewis (right knee) also missed the game. ... The Warriors finished 15-15 overall against the Eastern Conference and 10-5 at home. ... Golden State came back to win after trailing at halftime for the eighth time this season. The Warriors were down 67-64 at the half. ... McGee's previous career-high of 25 points came against the Warriors, on April 6, 2010. ... The Wizards fell to 0-14 on the road against Western Conference teams. Their only road win this year was at Cleveland. ... The Warriors shot 45.8 percent from 3-point range, making 11 of 24. Wright was 5-for-11 from long range, while Ellis was 4-for-6.

UP NEXT: For the Wizards, Monday @ Utah, Wednesday vs. Miami, Friday vs. Cleveland. For the Warriors, Tuesday @ Oklahoma City, Wednesday @ Memphis, Saturday vs. Dallas.
