Wizards Thwart Bucks Third Quarter Revival
The Wizards held off a late push from the Milwaukee Bucks Friday night to seal their second victory of the season. A strong show from beyond the arc began early as Bradley Beal hit the first two of his four three pointers on the night in the first quarter, setting the tempo from the tip off. However the Bucks remained within in touching distance, and behind Greg Monroes strong post play came back within 1 at the end of the third. Despite the Center's best efforts the Wiz were able to close the game out, lead by John Wall's 13 in the final quarter as the Bucks were outscored 39-19.
Head Coach Randy Wittman was pleased with Washington's road performance highlighting the bench's impact, including several big threes from Gary Neal in the third.
