KLMNO PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL Short-handed Wizards fall again wizards from D1


mance that saw themtrail by 23 points in the first half, the Wizards battled back to tie the score in the fourth period, only to have similar, disappointing result — a 97-89 defeat. As the final seconds ticked off on the Wizards’ 13th consecutive road loss—and six straight overall— Hilton Armstrong lifted his jer- sey above his head to cover his face and trudged toward the locker room. “I’m tired of losing. It just


hurts so much,” Armstrong said after the Wizards tied the 1989- 90 Washington Bullets for the longest in-season, road-losing streak in franchise history. Overall, theWizards have lost 14 road games in a row, dating from last season. The franchise record for consecutive road losses is 15. “With the guys we have on


this team, we can win so many more games.We just can’t figure it out,” Armstrong said. “We start off soft and passive and always have to play an uphill battle. We fight back, but don’t come up with a win. If we play the same way for 48 minutes, our record would be completely different and it’s so frustrating, because I knowguys could do it. We showed it.” The Wizards (6-18) were


without two of their top three scorers—JohnWall and Andray Blatche — for the second game in a row, and also Yi Jianlian, which forced Coach Flip Saun- ders to utilize his 11th different starting lineup.ButAl Thornton still considered it a “winnable game” since theNetswere on an eight-game losing streak and had lost five straight games to the Wizards. But Wizards had no room for comfort, since they were in a similar situation last week in Sacramento but let the Kings end an eight-game losing skid with a 25-point romp. They seemed destined for a


repeat performance on Thurs- day, as they sleepwalked to a 48-25 deficit early in the second quarter. But after being virtual- ly non-existent in the first half, Kirk Hinrich and Arenas brought the team back to life in the third period, combining for

“I’m tired of losing. It just hurts so much,” saidHilton Armstrong, right, after the struggling Wizards lost their sixth straight game.


17 points as the Wizards out- scored theNets, 29-19. They tied the game at 75 when Thornton (18 points) caught a pass from Arenas and made a finger roll with 8 minutes 52 seconds re- maining. “We were all just embar-


rassed at halftime, with our effort,” saidHinrich,who scored all 10 of his points in the second half. “We tried tomake up for it, but you can’t play like that for a whole half and expect to win games. It’s not like we don’t have anything to prove.We have a lot to prove as a team, as individuals. We’re searching for the answer why it’s like that.” Nick Young scored a team-


high 22 points and before foul- ing out, Arenas had eight of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, including 17-foot fadeaway jumper that brought the Wiz- ards within 88-87 with 1:47 left. But the Nets (7-19) scored the next seven points, all from the


foul line, where theymade 35 of 47 attempts, to put the game away. Harris had a game-high 29 points, with 14 coming from free throws. “The disappointment of not


competing and feeling sorry for ourselves becauseweweremiss- ing players hadmemoremad at the end of the game,” Saunders said. “I told our guys after the game thatwe can’t keepmaking the same mistakes. It’s not fair to the guys that do care and aren’t making those mistakes. In this league, if you keep mak- ing the same mistakes, eventu- ally you’re going to get beat.” Saunders singled out McGee,


who had just two points and five rebounds and struggled with fouls while trying to contend with Nets center Brook Lopez (18 points), who served as a battering ram to take out Wiz- ards big men by making them collect fouls. Lopez and McGee both tried out for TeamUSAthis


summer. McGee was initially cut in favor of Lopez but was allowed to return for the final round of cuts only after Lopez backed out with a case ofmono- nucleosis. Lopez quicklywent atMcGee,


and scored nine points as the Nets built an early 15-4 lead. McGee picked up two fouls, going to the bench after trying unsuccessfully to drawa charge. Armstrong and Kevin Seraphin also picked up two fouls each in the first quarter, and Saunders had to call on the seldom-used Hamady Ndiaye. “He’s a big body, great player,


really offensive-minded, really smart,” McGee said of Lopez, “but there is no excuse for the performance I put out there tonight. I felt we,myself includ- ed, didn’t come out as aggres- sive as we should’ve. We did better in the second half, but it was too late by then.” Booker got his second career


start in place of Blatche and finished with 11 points and nine rebounds.
