Wizards Insider: November 11, 2007 - November 17, 2007

Two in a row
Wizards 103, Pacers 90 That was the most complete performance this Wizards team has turned in since late last season. From start to finish, they played with energy, they moved the ball and they played solid defense. Caron Butler was a monster early and Brendan Haywood stacked up another...
