WIZARDS PLAYER OF THE GAME

This might be the toughest one to call all year. In a game where "Lob City East" transformed into the "Bobcats South", five Wizards were in double figures helping the Wizards complete their six-game surge to end the season. But to follow WE etiquette I'm compelled to choose one and I'm going to go with Mo Evans. For a guy who has dropped donuts across the stat sheets for about 85 percent of the season, what a way to ride out. Evans scored 18 points in 23 minutes, split between the second and fourth quarters. Evans ignited the crowd in the fourth with flashing moves to the basket and a three pointer.

WE’s TO WATCH/WE SPOTLIGHT

Ah, Kevin Seraphin. Simply outstanding how well this man has progressed over the course of the season, especially after the trade for Nene. Seraphin was his usual cool self offensively, scoring 15 points and looking pretty comfortable down low against Eddy Curry (stop laughing). Curry and Juwon Howard got a lot of the burn down low for the Heat with our other spotlight player Udonis Haslem playing only 19 minutes and scoring 6 points. Haslem was moderately effective with his post up defense against Seraphin early in the game but nothing special. Moving on...

THE GOOD

Umm, how about a 34 point victory to cap off a six game winning streak? A very joyous finish to a rather tumultuous season had the players and fans pumped down to the final buzzer. John Wall accumulated double figures in assists for the fifth consecutive game, dishing 12 against the Heat with nine of them coming in the first half. He finished the night off by thanking the fans for their support throughout the season. 

THE BAD

The fans found a way to boo Andray Blatche. Following the game, a lady fan won his jersey in what I think was a raffle game. Upon Tigger announcing the fan's prize, fans booed Blatche as he handed her the jersey. Hopefully for Blatche's sake, the jeers didn't buzzkill his end of the season rooftop party at Eden nightclub.

THE UGLY

The Miami Heat bench. For a team that's touted as the front runner for the NBA title this season they've got some crappy reserves. The Heat were almost held to under 70 points for the second consecutive game and there wasn't anything remotely pretty about it. The team shot 35 percent from the floor and committed 22 turnovers leading to 33 Wizards points. Only two players scored in double figures with 10 and 14 points.
