November 16, 2019: Washington 98 El Paso 89

                                              Sleepy leads with 16 Points 

Sleepy Floyd (16) led a balanced scoring attack as the Wizards broke a 4 game losing streak on the road for a 98-89 lead.  Gus Williams (15), Derek Smith (13) and Thurl Bailey (10 points/ 8 rebounds) all led the balanced attack.

The teams were tied after the 1Q before the Wizards opened up a 8 point lead at halftime.  El Paso cut the lead to 7 after 3Q before Washington survived with a 9 point win. 

 Scorpion SG Michael Jordan (34) looks like the VBA rookie of the year and Mark Eaton (10 rebounds) will always get his share of rebounds.  The Wizards held a 42-18 advantage inside the paint while the Washington bench outscored El Paso 46-20.

Coach Bill Russell:

" Michael Jordan is another great player in the VBA and I was impressed with the fact we shutdown the rest of the El Paso squad and held them below 100 points.  This just reinforces my idea that the key to winning is playing quality defense.  It was good to see us break this losing streak."
