Place: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ
TV: FSAZ, NBALP
The Wizards acquired "the other" Bogdanovic at the trading deadline and he has been on a tear for them.
As for the Suns:
For the third consecutive game, a new-look reserve crew anchored by three youngsters outscored their counterparts and helped produce the Phoenix win.
Led by Ulis, Alan Williams and Derrick Jones Jr., the Suns have outscored their opponent 141-72 off the bench during their first three-game winning streak of the season.
Williams tied his career-best with 15 rebounds in the win over the Celtics. He has averaged 14.1 points off the bench in his last six games.
Jones, who finished second to Glenn Robinson III in the dunk competition at the All-Star Game, seems to have gained momentum from that performance. He has made 16 of his 19 shots off the bench in his last seven games.
Go Suns!!!

The Wiz have been playing pretty well lately. They have risen to #3 in the East, a game up on the #4 Raptors, and 1.5 games behind the #2 Celtics who have lost a few lately.

We've dispatched Kemba, Westbrook, and IT. John Wall is the fourth All-Star PG we've faced in a row.

So far, Len is doing a good job on Gortat. He has baited G into a couple of bad shots, and just now drew a blocking foul. Gortat has 2 fouls in 4 minutes.

As soon as I type that, Len grabs the O rebound, brings the ball down and gets stripped.

Lakers getting smoked by Dallas tonight - so the Suns aren't catching them by the end of the year.

Ulis takes the hit in stride, and a vet comes in and escalates. Sigh.

Just came back to these replays. They aren't showing the pick but that headbutt by Dudley has to be an ejection.
Doesn't look like he meant to hit him with his head but he did so shrug.

Well, if somebody had to get ejected for starting a fight, I guess it's a good thing it was Duds. He's not who I'm tuning in to watch.

It is annoying when our guards don't even pretend to guard against the drive. They just stand there watching their guy go right by them.

11 nothing run here. Even on a bad night, this is much more fun than what we were seeing a month ago.
