163. The Last Truth - Iverson

After a night's rest, on December 2, the Bobcats came to the Verizon Center to challenge the Wizards.

The Wizards, currently with 8 wins and 8 losses, ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference.

Although their record was mediocre, averaging 105 points scored and 105.5 points allowed per game, their defense was exceedingly poor. Still, they were a headache for anyone who faced them.

Last week, they played back-to-back away games against the Suns and the Mavericks, defeating the Suns 144-139 in overtime with a surprising performance where Arenas scored 54 points; against the Mavericks, Arenas scored 35 points and recorded a career-high 16 assists, Jamison and Butler both scored over 20, and they upset the Mavericks 124-118, showing a tendency to rise to the occasion against strong teams.
