THE FACTS: John Wall had 31 points and Nick Young added a season-high 29 points as the Washington Wizards blew an 18-point deficit and hung on to beat the Toronto Raptors 111-108 in overtime on Monday night.
Washington held Toronto without a field goal in overtime and outscored it 6-3. It was the Wizards' fifth win in 25 games. Trevor Booker added a season-high 19 points.
Jerryd Bayless and Linas Klieiza each had a season-high 30 points for the Raptors. Bayless scored 16 points in the fourth quarter to help force overtime.
QUOTABLE: "That was a bad exhibition of basketball."
-- Toronto coach Dwane Casey on his team's loss
THE STAT: After the Raptors outrebounded Washington 61-34 in Friday's loss, Toronto had just one more rebound than the Wizards -- 42-41. The 61 rebounds was a franchise high.
TURNING POINT: Young hit two free throws with 1:06 to play to give Washington a 109-106 lead.
QUOTABLE II: "You have to go off on them at halftime to get them to play. It shouldn't ever have to get to that -- and that's why I was disappointed -- even with that second-half comeback."
-- Casey on his halftime tirade
HOT: Kleiza was 11-for-16 from the field. His 3-pointer with 57.8 seconds left in regulation helped force overtime.
NOT: Amir Johnson. He missed six of seven from the field. The one he hit, a dunk with 10.5 seconds left in regulation, tied the score at 105. In overtime, he had three shots blocked in 16 seconds -- two by Wall and one by Booker.
GOOD MOVE: Wizards coach Randy Wittman told Wall to relax, and he responded. Wall was 10-for-19 from the field and 11-for-14 from the line. "That's as good a game I've had with him," Wittman said.
BAD MOVE: Casey played Aaron Gray for the first eight minutes -- and then sat him in favor of a shorter lineup the rest of the way.
NOTABLE: Wizards forward Rashard Lewis was a late scratch with a sore left knee. It was the third time he missed a game with the injury. Wittman said he was day-to-day.
IN THE ARENA: The announced attendance was 14,687, but most of the seats were empty.
UP NEXT: For the Raptors: Wednesday vs. Milwaukee, Friday vs. Boston, Sunday vs. L.A. Lakers. For the Wizards: Wednesday vs. New York, Friday vs. Miami, Sunday @ Detroit
