Regardless of Arenas not being cleared, the Washington Wizards do their thing on the court against the Playoff-bound Detroit Pistons 95-83. Just another night for the Wiz.
The Wiz has been killing giants like David did Goliath. Although their just a bit above the .500 mark, they have beaten some of the best teams in all NBA kingdom: two wins over the Boston Celtics, New Orleans Hornets, and Cleveland Cavaliers, they are now 1-1 with Detroit.
People step up when a good player goes down. Awnton Jameson has been picking up the slack left by Arenas, he had a good double-double night with 24 points and 12 rebounds. On the other hand, Antonio Daniels have started 51 straight games for Arenas and has shown that he’s capable of supporting his teammates well.
Let’s see what they do a week from now, when Arenas gets back—they should be even better.
