NBA: Wizards Rout Pacers While Bulls Edge Celtics
Zeeshan Mehtab Published February 17, 2017 | 09:50 AM
WASHINGTON, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Feb, 2017 ) - With a host of scoring threats, the Washington Wizards have become one of the NBA's hottest teams, showing their scoring depth Thursday in a 111-98 rout of struggling Indiana.
Otto Porter Jr had 25 points and eight rebounds, Markieff Morris added 21 points and seven rebounds, all-star John Wall contributed 20 points and 12 assists while Bradley Beal had 19 points as the Wizards led all the way.
"We have a lot of threats and it's hard to key on any one guy," Beal said. "We are enjoying this. Winning like this is fun. "We are playing with a lot of energy and we don't care who is scoring or anything like that.
We enjoy playing for each other." The Wizards improved to 34-21, shooting 51.8 percent from the floor in inflicting the Pacers' sixth loss in a row. "We have been looking real good for the last few months," Wizards coach Scott Brooks said.
"I think we are in a good spot, but I think the thing I love about this group is that they are not satisfied. "We know we have a lot of work ahead of us. A tough part of our schedule is coming up. We are going to go into it with the right focus and challenge. "We're not going to win all of them, but we have to stick together when we don't," he said. "Our guys have done that."
