Post-Game Interviews

Alex Best (King's Head Coach): "I am appalled at the NBA's inability to act after this game. No fines after the VERY last play of the match, no fines for the injury on Evans, and no recall of any of those terrible refs. I'm disappointed in Washington, the NBA, and my team. You can bet your a*# that we'll get revenge on the Wizards for this game.

Omri Casspi (King's Player Of The Game): "I just had the best game of my career, and the best game of this season of any player, and then this crap happened. Thanks Wizards."

John Wall (Wizard's Game Changer): "We did what we had to in order to win. I have no further comment."

An Enraged Kings Team Watches Evans Injury Lead To Wizards Win

This game was all Wizards after a horrific foul on Tyreke Evans, John Wall getting in the way of a layup and hitting Evans in the air, flipping him and forcing him on his back. Only a personal foul for Wall and a 2 week injury for Evans. However, Omri Casspi had the best game of anyone this season, bringing his team back into OT. Then, with the Kings down three in OT, with only 2 seconds, Omri Casspi gets the ball (shooting 12/24 from deep). As he goes up, Rashard Lewis shoulders Casspi, causing him to fall onto his back, the ball missing and the game ending. No call from the referees, but Evans and Cousins began to push Lewis, pleasantries being exchange. A new, heated rivalry has surely formed.

Kings shot 52% compared to the Wizards 57%
46% from deep for the Kings.
An outrageous 13 fouls against the Kings, and ONLY TWO against the Wizards.
Wizards out blocked and stole from the Kings.
Jameer Nelson (PG) - Had a season high 17 assists. However, only got 9 points and 5 rebounds.
Jermaine Taylor (SG) - Managed 7 assists and 2 steals.
Omri Casspi (SF) - PHENOMINAL PERFORMANCE FROM THIS PLAYER OF THE GAME. 18-32, 12-23 from deep. A career-high 48 points!!
DeMarcus Cousins (PF) - Quiet game for him as well. 6 rebounds, and 1 block.
Samuel Dalembert (C) - Other than his 3 blocks and 6 rebounds, Dalembert did nothing this game.
Nick Young produced well for the Wizards. 10-20 with 25 points and a block.

Wizards are now (9-12)
Kings are now (11-9)

NEXT GAME IS AGAINST THE MIAMI HEAT! (12-4)

The game has that sort of deep shot (deep 2 or 3) non foul call built in.... it's great for story lines though hey. tough loss.... be interesting to see how you go without Tyreke. I personally make the game challenging by not playing a hurt player until fully healed... made for a fun game with no K Love and no Beasley at one point lol

It will be. I'm afraid to face the power hungry Heat without two of my starters. (Tyreke is one of my scoring stars, and Thompson is a great defensive player down low. Both will not be playing)

Thanks for reading. I plan to follow yours as well.
