Nets @ Bullets

New Jersey smelled blood in the water when they rolled into Washington to take on the Bullets, and they pounced, using a balanced attack to take home a 94-80 win. All of New Jersey's starters put up 12 points or more, led by Otis Birdsong (17 points) and Darryl Dawkins (15 points), while Buck Williams grabbed 11 rebounds and the newly acquired Brian Winters went 4 for 4 from three-point range. Jeff Ruland (22 points, 23 rebounds) led Washington in a losing effort, but Jeff Malone (12 points) was the only other Bullet to post double figures.
