For the Wizs it’s the duo of Antawn Jamison and Brendan Haywood. Jamison, starting at the power forward position, gets 41 minutes in all and does plenty with the time on the floor. The ex NPOY gets a huge double double, scoring 32 points (13 for 23 ~ 1 for 4 ~ 5 for 6) to go with 14 rebounds, three assists and a steal (along with a couple of turnovers). For Haywood a much quieter night, as he plays 34 minutes scoring eight points (4 for 7 ~ 0 for 0 ~ 0 for 0) to go with eight boards (5 offensive), an assist and a steal.
