Links: Wizards notch moral victory, lose (again) (in OT) to Hawks

Triple Steez links:

• The Wizards recorded another moral victory last night in a 100-95 overtime loss to the Hawks. Jordan Crawford recorded a triple-double, Nene scored 18 points on only seven shots, Bradley Beal stayed aggressive and chipped in 17 points, and Earl freaking Barron had 14 rebounds. But the Wiz shot 38 percent as a team, so they lost.
