The Washington Wizards (33 - 20) defeated the Orlando Magic (16 - 39) 96 - 80 on Monday at the Verizon Center in Washington. The Wizards came out and got a quick start in this one, out - scoring the Magic 24 - 16 right away in the first quarter. Along with the fast start, the Wizards also shot better than the Magic, going 43 percent from the field and 28 percent from the three - point line, while the Magic went 40 percent from the floor and a meager 18 percent from beyond the arc. To put the icing on the cake, the Wizards also secured a 53 - 33 rebounding advantage. The Wizards had a balanced attack against the Magic, with the bench adding some valuable contributions. Leading the team in points was Rasual Butler, who posted 15 points (4 - 14 FG, 3 - 9 3Pt, 4 - 5 FT) and three rebounds in 27 minutes off the bench. It was his second straight 15 - point game in a row, as he's been a big reason the Wizards have won each of their last two games. Marcin Gortat had a strong showing and finished with 14 points (5 - 6 FG, 4 - 4 FT) and 14 rebounds. He was a force on the boards and was a big help in securing such an impressive advantage in the rebounding category. Coming just shy of a triple - double, John Wall recorded nine points (3 - 10 FG, 1 - 5 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT), 10 rebounds and 10 assists. It was the first time he failed to reach double figures in points since December fifth, although he made up for it with a new season - high in rebounds. Nene added 14 points (6 - 10 FG, 2 - 2 FT) and three rebounds as well. Like the Wizards, the Magic's highest scorer was off the bench Tuesday, as Evan Fournier finished as the team leader in points. He went 7 - for - 14 from the field and 2 - for - 5 from the three - point line to score 18 points, while also adding two assists in 33 minutes. He continues to provide the Magic solid guard depth off the bench, as he's now pushed his season averages to 12 points and 2 assists per game. Nikola Vucevic came close to recording a double - double, finishing with 14 points (6 - 10 FG, 2 - 2 FT) and eight rebounds. After posting fourteen games in a row with at least 16 points, he's now posted less than that in two straight games, as his shot attempts were noticeably down during that stretch. Also reaching double - digit points was Victor Oladipo, who recorded 13 points (6 - 18 FG, 0 - 6 3Pt, 1 - 1 FT), four rebounds and five assists. Rookie Elfrid Payton contributed 11 points and a season - high of six steals, as he stepped it up defensively for the Magic. The Wizards' next game will be on the road against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, while the Magic will be at home against the New York Knicks on Wednesday.
