Well, Manu played to my surprise...but the Wizards won... <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 (Ticker) -- Antawn Jamison and Gilbert Arenas looked deserving of their first All-Star selections against the league-leading San Antonio Spurs. Jamison scored 14 of his season-high 35 points in the fourth quarter and grabbed 11 rebounds and Arenas added 24 points as the Washington Wizards posted a 95-87 victory over the shorthanded Spurs. San Antonio, which had won five straight games, was playing its second straight contest without perennial MVP candidate Tim Duncan, who sprained his ankle in practice Monday. He was not missed in a 104-85 triumph at lowly Charlotte on Tuesday, but the Spurs could have used him in this one. </div> Full Recap Box Score
They didn't have Duncan, but it's always nice to say we beat the Spurs. We also didn't have Larry Hughes, and Kwame. Arenas started off slow, but got better as the game progressed. Jamison won the game today, this was probably his best game of the season on both end. I think the 35 was a season high, and he played very well today. Brendan Haywood also played a good game, and though we couldn't put the clamps on Parker, we were able to get the win.
