As the Wizards remained hot from the floor, the Arsenal struggled, shooting a meager 38 percent.
The Wizards also received contributions from Dontell Jefferson (18 points, 8 Assists), James Maye (11 points), and Brandon Armstrong (12 points).
"We just ran into a tired team tonight" said Dave Joerger. "They are very skilled, so we had to come out and hit some big shots to have a chance at winning tonight's ball game."
Jawad Williams led the Arsenal in the losing effort, finishing with 20 points. Corsley Edwards also chipped in with his tenth consecutive double-double, recording 16 points and 10 rebounds. Andre Owens also poured in 19 points, although making just 6 of 19 shots attempted.

"Tonight our shots weren't falling," said Arsenal head coach Larry Smith. "Its tough to win when they were shooting the lights out, and we couldn't get them to fall."
The Arsenal (7-11) will look to forget their shooting woes when they play the Austin Toros Thursday night, as they finish off their current five game home stand.
