Wizards-Bucks Preview

While it's coming far too late for their liking, the Washington Wizards are on the brink of their first four-game win streak of the season.

To accomplish that feat, the Wizards must end their road woes Monday night against the slumping Milwaukee Bucks.

Injuries helped contribute to Washington's 4-28 start to the season, but the healthier Wizards (14-35) have won 10 of 17 and swept a three-game homestand this past week.

They defeated one of the top teams in the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Clippers, and one of the best in the East, New York, before finishing with an 89-74 win over Brooklyn on Friday.

"We have to be hungry every game," forward Martell Webster said. "We have to continue to play the way we've been playing these last three games. We can't get complacent. We can't get comfortable, and we can't be satisfied."

The Wizards held the Nets to a season-low 32.9 percent shooting and dropped their average points allowed over their past eight games to 87.8. They gave up 96.8 per game in their first 41 contests.

"Having a sense of urgency on the defensive end, knowing that's the element that wins games, that's why we're continuing to play the way we're playing," Webster said.

Inefficient offense has been the biggest problem on the road, where the Wizards are averaging 86.2 points while going 3-21 - both league worsts. Washington hasn't shot better than 41.0 percent during its current four-game road skid.

"We've got to figure out a way to play better on the road and do it consistently," coach Randy Wittman said. "That's our next step. I feel good about these next two games (at Milwaukee and Detroit) because of what we've done (during the homestand)."

Washington might like its chances against Milwaukee, which has dropped five of six and is seeking to avoid matching its longest skid of the season at four.

While the Wizards have shined on defense lately, the Bucks (25-24) have allowed three straight opponents to reach the century mark. They've also been held under 40.0 percent shooting themselves in each of their past two games.

Detroit scored the final seven points in its 105-100 victory in Milwaukee on Saturday. With 26 points, Brandon Jennings was the only Bucks player to score more than 15, but he was 8 of 27 from the field.

"I don't think I'm reaching when I say we're obviously not on the same page now," swingman Mike Dunleavy said. "We're in a funk. Everybody's got their own little issues."

Monta Ellis was held to eight points Saturday - his second-lowest total this season - but had a team-best 22 in a 101-91 victory in Washington on Nov. 9. Bradley Beal scored 22 for the Wizards, who were missing John Wall and Nene.

That defeat dropped Washington to 2-8 in its last 10 against Milwaukee. The Wizards have lost four straight and seven of eight at the Bradley Center.

They might catch a break if Larry Sanders, the NBA's leader with 3.2 blocks per game, is out for a third straight contest. The Bucks big man has been dealing with a bruised lower back.

Milwaukee last dropped four in a row Dec. 30-Jan. 5, while Washington hasn't won four straight since its season-ending six-game run in 2011-12.

Beal scores 28 as Wizards beat Bucks 102-90

Posted Feb 12 2013 12:57AM

MILWAUKEE (AP) After missing five games with a sprained right wrist, it took rookie Brandon Beal just two games to score a season-high in points. And he did it with his right wrist taped.

Beal scored 28 points as the Washington Wizards beat the Milwaukee Bucks 102-90 Monday night, earning a rare road win.

"I felt good, my wrist is feeling a lot better," Beal said. "Probably the biggest thing is I wanted is to shoot with confidence. My teammates did a great job of finding me and I was able to knock down some shots."

Beal, who played one year at Florida before being selected by Washington with the third pick in last year's draft,, made 10 of his 17 shots - including 4 of 5 from behind the arc.

"I just happened to be open tonight," Beal said.

Washington has won four consecutive games and 11 of 18. The Wizards are 10-7 since John Wall returned from injury and won for only the fourth time in 25 road games this year.

"With tape on it, it looks like he's still injured," Wall said of Beal. "He got good looks early and he made them. We just kept coming to him and finding him."

Washington coach Randy Wittman said the key to the game was good ball movement that led to 29 assists.

"That tells the story for us," Wittman said. "When we're in the high 20s, we're pretty good."

Monta Ellis had 24 points, seven rebounds and eight assists for Milwaukee, and Ersan Ilyasova added 19 points and nine rebounds. Leading-scorer Brandon Jennings was held to seven points, missing 14 of 17 shots.

The Bucks scored 32 points in the first quarter, but had trouble scoring the rest of the way. Milwaukee was the ninth consecutive team to score less than 100 points against the Wizards.

"We got after them," Wittman said. "After that first quarter, I thought we did settle down with our defensive scheme and planted our feet."

Milwaukee missed 50 of 73 shots after the first quarter.

"We had a bunch of good looks tonight and we just could not make them," Milwaukee coach Jim Boylan said. "Anytime that you shoot only 37 percent from the field you are going to have a rough night, especially when the other team is shooting over 50 (percent)."

The Bucks have dropped four consecutive games and six of seven, but hold the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They didn't lose any ground to the team closest to them as Philadelphia lost 107-90 to the Los Angeles Clippers.

"Right now we are spotty," Boylan said of his team's energy. "We are not consistently bringing the type of energy that we need to win a game. Tonight we had some spurts and a little pop at times, however we have had a hard time sustaining it in the last few games."

The Wizards scored nine consecutive points to take control of the game midway through the fourth quarter. Nene scored the first five points, A.J. Price scored on a layup and Beal capped the streak with two free throws to make it 90-78 with 6:35 left.

The Bucks pulled to 96-90 on a 3 by Jennings with 2:35 left, but Nene backed down the smaller Ilyasova and scored on a layup with 2:15 left to make it 98-90.

Nene then easily intercepted a pass from Samuel Dalembert under the basket. Wall was fouled and converted both free throws to put Washington up 10 with 1:45 to go.

"We missed a lot of free throws and wide open shots, but it's not really an excuse for us," Ilyasova said. "When you're on the floor you have to make good shots."

Nene dominated down low with Milwaukee forward Larry Sanders missing his third consecutive game due to a bone bruise in his lower back. He had 21 points on 10 of 13 shooting with 13 rebounds and six assists.

"He stabilized a lot of different things for us," Wittman said of Nene.

Beal scored 16 points in the first half and Washington led 55-47 at halftime. Beal's 3-pointer made it 47-44 with 3:24 left in the second quarter.

NOTES: It was the Wizards' first road win against an Eastern Conference team after opening the season with 14 consecutive losses. ... Sanders will seek a second opinion since the injury didn't seem to be healing. ... Bucks F Marquis Daniels returned to the team after missing a game for personal reasons.

Notebook: Wizards 102, Bucks 90

Rick Braun, For NBA.com
Posted Mon Feb 11, 2013 11:48 PM - Updated Mon Feb 11, 2013 11:48 PM

THE FACTS: Bradley Beal scored 28 points, the highest total for a Washington player this season, and Nene added 21 points and 13 rebounds as the suddenly hot Wizards rolled to their fourth straight victory -- a 102-90 over the Milwaukee Bucks Monday night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

John Wall added 14 points and 10 assists, and Emeka Okafor added 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Wizards (15-35), who have gone 11-7 in their last 18 after a 4-28 start.

Monta Ellis led the Bucks (25-25) with 24 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and six steals. And other than Ersan Ilyasova's 19 points and nine rebounds, no other player was a factor for Milwaukee. The Bucks have lost four straight and six of their last seven.

QUOTABLE: "My teammates did a great job finding me. John [Wall] found me a few times, A.J. [Price], and Nene found me a few times as well. All my teammates did a great job of finding me, and I was just so happy to be open tonight."

-- Bradley Beal

THE STAT: After shooting 61.9 percent and scoring 32 points in the first quarter, the Bucks went just 7-for-30 (23.3 percent) in the second quarter and 23-for-74 (31.1 percent) over the final three quarters.

TURNING POINT: A 6-0 run pulled the Bucks within 81-78 with 8:52 left. The Wizards called a timeout and then worked the ball inside to Nene, whose three-point play started a 9-0 run that made it 90-78 and game-over.

QUOTABLE II: "We got after him. After that first quarter, I thought we did settle down with our defensive scheme."

-- Wizards coach Randy Wittman, whose team held Brandon Jennings to 3-for-17 shooting

HOT: Nene went 10-for-13 to lead an offensive effort that was well above 50 percent all night and finished 42-for-74 (56.8 percent).

NOT: Jennings is 21-for-75 (28 percent) over his past four games.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Ellis had something for just about every category with his 24 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and six steals. He even had a blocked shot.

QUOTABLE III: "We hate that the break's coming up. It's going to ruin our momentum. But it's an opportunity to get some rest, though, and then come back focused and with the same mentality."

-- Bradley Beal on the All-Star break arriving after Wednesday's games

GOOD MOVE: Wittman's timeout to set up Nene's 3-point play after the Bucks pulled within 81-78 worked just as every coach hopes such a timeout works.

ROOKIE WATCH: Beal's 28 came in just his second game back after missing five games with a sore left wrist. Bucks forward John Henson posted four points and four rebounds, a block and a steal in 13:33 of playing time.

NOTABLE: The Bucks played their third straight game without center Larry Sanders, who has a bruised back suffered in a fall at Denver last week. Sanders, who leads the league in blocked shots, said he would seek a second medical opinion for the slow-healing injury. The Bucks are 1-4 when Sanders misses the game. ... After an 8-3 start, the Bucks are now 9-9 since Jim Boylan took over as coach for Scott Skiles. ... The Bucks are just 13-12 at home. ... The Wizards improved to 4-21 on the road. Three of the victories have come since Wall returned after missing the first 33 games.

UP NEXT: For the Wizards, Wednesday @ Detroit, Feb. 19 vs. Toronto, Feb. 22 vs. Denver. For the Bucks, Wednesday vs. Philadelphia, Feb. 19 @ Brooklyn, Feb. 20 vs. Brooklyn.
