  newser | Associated Press | May 1, 08 12:36 AM CDT
  
  Caron Butler saved Washington's season. Butler made a layup with 3.9 seconds left and the Wizards held their breath as LeBron James missed a potential series-ending layup at the horn, giving Washington an 88-87 victory Wednesday night and adding at least one more game to this overheated NBA playoff series.

  newser | Associated Press | Apr 21, 08 10:54 PM CDT
  
  Maybe Gilbert Arenas was talking about some other Cavaliers. The Cleveland team he and the Washington Wizards faced Monday night doesn't look so beatable.

- LeBron Makes Wizards Pay
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 19, 08 4:58 PM CDT

- Wizards Subs Bounce Pacers From Playoffs
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 14, 08 9:29 PM CDT
  
  The Washington Wizards' backups were more than enough to eliminate the very sub-.500 Indiana Pacers from the playoff race, 117-110 Monday. Coach Eddie Jordan went to his bench early and often, getting 31 points from Roger Mason, 14 from rookie Nick Young and little resistance from the Pacers' defense. The Wizards never trailed. More »
- Arenas Gets 20 in Wizards' Win
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 12, 08 10:24 PM CDT
  
  Gilbert Arenas finally looked like Agent Zero again, just in time for the Washington Wizards to put the Philadelphia 76ers out of reach.

  newser | Associated Press | Apr 6, 08 1:06 AM CDT

The Bulls got 18 points from Ben Gordon and 16 from Larry Hughes. More »

  newser | NBA.com | Mar 31, 08 3:00 AM CDT
  
  A well-rested Dallas team couldn't rein in the exhausted but determined Warriors, who won last night's game 114-104 after a slow start. Josh Howard's 36 points weren't enough to make up for the continued absence of Dirk Nowitzki, nor was Jason Kidd's near triple-double (13 points, 14 assists, nine boards), reports Mavs.com. Elsewhere in the hotly contested Western Conference: More »
- Duncan Carries Spurs to Fifth Straight Win
  
  newser | Associated Press | Mar 27, 08 2:45 AM CDT
