January 9, 2010 (Part 2); Wizards climbs past Magic without Arenas, and more!

This morning, ESPN showed the Wizards-Magic game live from the Verizon Center. And for some of you who wasn't able to catch the game, Antawn Jamison, team captain of the Wizards, got the microphone and spoke infront of a sellout crowd of 20,173 strong about the controversies happening in the organization.

Speaking in behalf of his teammates, Jamison vowed that anything that has happened was not of their liking, and that the team will continue to fight and remain as one of the most respectable teams in the league.

That speech made by Jamison may have sparked the entire Wizard team, as they won against heavily favored Orlando, 104-97.

The win marks the Wizards' 12th win in 34 contests, and their first win against the Magic in 3 years.

Jamison led all scorers with 28 points, and grabbed 11 rebounds. Caron Butler followed suit with 23 markers and 7 boards, Randy Foye finished with 20 points and six assists, while big man Brendan Haywood was superb with 18 points and 15 rebounds.

Dwight Howard was the lone bright spot for the Magic with 23 points and 11 boards.
