The Washington Wizards (10 - 5) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (7 - 8) 83 - 80 at the Verizon Center on Saturday. Washington got back onto the winner's list, snapping a two - game losing streak when Tyreke Evans' game - tying three - point shot hit the front of the rim in the dying seconds. Marcin Gortat led the Wizards with 24 points and 13 rebounds, and also was a big presence defensively, blocking a season - high four shots to go with two steals. Kris Humphries started in place of the injured Nene (foot) and was a beast on the glass, pulling down 11 rebounds of his own in just 26 minutes. After starting the first 13 games of the season in place of Bradley Beal, Garrett Temple failed to get into the game, logging his first healthy scratch of the season. The Wizards take on the visiting Miami Heat on Monday. The Pelicans tried desperately to break their own two - game losing streak, but fell short, and have now lost four out of their last five contests. Emerging superstar Anthony Davis carried his team with 30 points and 13 rebounds and was joined by only two other teammates in scoring in double digits, Ryan Anderson (11 points) and Jrue Holiday (17 points). Notably, it was the first game all season that Davis failed to block a shot, as he is averaging 3 blocks per game. Austin Rivers got his second consecutive start in place of Eric Gordon, but scored just four points, adding three assists in his 29 minutes. The Pelicans are off until Tuesday, when they take on the Thunder in New Orleans.
