Nene and Bradley Beal scored 14 points apiece for the Wizards, who made 53.3 percent for the game and improved to 12-9 away from DC. The Wizards will wrap up the trek Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. Washington will play four games in five days and is 24-1 when holding opponents under 100 points this season. The Wizards are 8-0 on the road when giving up less than 100 points. Wall is averaging 18.3 points in his last four games and Pierce is posting 15.5 ppg in that span. Pierce is 30 points shy of tying Alex English (25,613) for 15th on the NBAs all-time scoring list.

Carlos Boozer scored 18 points and Jeremy Lin added 14 for the Lakers, who were held under 90 points for the fifth time in the last seven games. Wayne Ellington had 13 points and Jordan Hill added 10 and seven rebounds in the loss.

The Lakers will be without the services of guard Kobe Bryant for the remainder of the season, as he will undergo surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder. A timetable for Bryants recovery wont be known until after Wednesday mornings procedure. Bryant suffered the injury in last Wednesdays 96-80 loss at New Orleans. Bryant could be facing a third consecutive season-ending injury. He suffered a torn Achilles tendon in April 2013 and a broken bone in his knee last season. The 36-year-old Bryant averaged 22.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 35 games this season.

I felt with his body language that I didnt want to play him, Lakers coach Byron Scott said of Young, who went 0-for-2 from the field in just under 8 1/2 minutes off the bench. LA is 6-6 against the East (4-2 at home) and will close the homestand Thursday versus the Chicago Bulls. It is 6-16 as the host in 2014-15.
