“It’s just soreness in the back of my left knee that I haven’t felt in a while”, he said.

With Friday’s win, the Wizards improved to 25-28 and sit two games behind the Charlotte Hornets for eighth place in the East. Another team ahead of them in the standings – the fourth-place Miami Heat – await them Saturday night. I didn’t feel like they were trying to force anything or try anything to take up what Dwayne and C.B. give us. “I played through my first hamstring the whole game”.
Korver said the Hawks “have to be a little more physical, and we have to play smarter”.
Bosh, though, won’t be available in this matchup after a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press earlier this week that the All-Star forward is again on blood-thinning medication to combat a clot in his leg. He was declared out for the season at the All-Star break a year ago when a clot on his lung threatened his life. But it’s nothing that I’m like overly concerned about.
Winning with a limited roster was similar to when they defeated the Denver Nuggets in mid-January with just 10 players.

So I just want to make sure it’s good.
Over the last two nights, the Washington Wizards have resembled the defensive-minded team that had failed to steadily surface in the 51 games before the all-star break. “That character has to come out on the court”.

The GB star went 11-of-17 from the field and also added a season-high 11 rebounds plus four steals in a strong 38-minute effort. Whiteside was suspended one game without pay for throwing an elbow at San Antonio centre Boban Marjanovic’s head on February 9. But with Horford scoring nine of his 11 first-half points in the second quarter, the Hawks came back and tied the score at 52 on Scott’s 3-pointer with 4.7 seconds remaining. After taking a physical, Hinrich is expected to be in uniform on Saturday against the Bucks….
