"Three nights removed from a lopsided loss to Toronto, the Washington Wizards gained a measure of redemption against their Canadian opponent by clinging to a 111-108 overtime victory on Monday despite relinquishing a comfortable lead in the second half before 14,687 at Verizon Center.

Washington ended a four-game slide that most recently included consecutive losses by a combined 43 points, but the team couldn't exhale in this one until Raptors guard Jose Calderon failed on a desperation heave as time expired. The miss concluded a triumph in which the Wizards got exceptional play from the starting back court of John Wall and Nick Young, who combined for 60 points."
