"If the Washington Wizards were going to finally join the rest of the teams in the NBA and record a road win, they were going to need a few things to work in their favor.

That included John Wall making his first three-pointer of the season, Trevor Booker saving his best game of the season for his homecoming, Nick Young burying a string of clutch baskets, and JaVale McGee getting an opponent to goaltend a seemingly off-target shot in the closing seconds.

But more importantly, they would need an opponent so weak and wounded that it wouldn't matter that the Wizards had more than their share of mishaps. It all converged on Saturday at Time Warner Cable Arena, as the Wizards claimed their first road win in nine tries, eking out a 102-99 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats. The Wizards stumbled in the fourth quarter and squandered a 12-point second-half lead, but no matter the circumstances, they'll take it."
