Played 2 more games, against Atlanta and Golden State.
The Wizards got off to a huge start against the Hawks, leading by over 20 at quarter time, but in the 2nd, the Hawks closed the gap, and they were with 9 points at half time. The Hawks continued their comeback in the 3rd, closing the gap to 2 points at 3 quarter time. The 4th quarter was a struggle, as the lead kept going back and foward between the teams. At the end of the game, the score was 104-104. We head to OT. LeBron James decides to attempt to lead his team to victory, but after an extra five minutes, a winner could still not be decided. We head to a 2nd OT. Where the Wizards got off to a quick start, scoring the first 6 points. The Hawks had it back down to 2, but couldn't any closer as the Wizards pulled away in the final minute, ending a grueling game, with a 133-128 victory. LeBron was once again POG.
To start the new year, the Wizards hosted the Golden State Warriors, and it was close all the way through (the guys musta still had a hangover from New Years parties). For most of the game, it was the Warriors in control, but the lead was never bigger than 10. And both teams had their spurts, the Warriors getting up by 9, then the Wizards bringing it back to 2, and vica versa. In the end, it was the Wizards getting their 9th straight win (tying a franchise record, set by the 2001-2002 team led by Michael Jordan) with a 114-109 win. Wizards improved to 21-9 on the season, and now only trial the 76ers by a single game.
