Hardwood Classic

January 23rd, 2007

The Washington Wizards and Phoenix Suns are about to tip-off. The last time these two teams played Gilbert Arenas led the Wizards to a win with 54-points, as his team narrowly overcame a 42-point effort from Phoenix’s MVP Steve Nash.

The two team’s combined for more than 160-points in a game that wasn’t decided until the final moments. Phoenix brings with it to Washington the Western Conference’s second-best record, having won 29 of-their-last 31 games and Washington owns the Eastern Conference’s best record.

 The Western conference player of the week, Nash, and the winner of the same honor in the Eastern conference, Caron Butler, will be running the court for the Wizards. These two teams combine for 35 fast-break points a night, and are the top-two scoring squads in hoops.

 In other words, get out the popcorn and candy because this game is going to be a dandy. Enjoy it. I will be.
