A sloppy performance by Phoenix cost them this afternoon against Washington. "You play like that, and you're going to get beaten," said Phoenix coach Bob after the game. "Doesn't matter who you're playing - we proved that today." Poor play all afternoon, especially in clutch situations, proved costly for Phoenix and negated a solid outing by Jeanlouis.

Washington was led by Harrington (19 points, 13 boards, 4 assists, 3 blocks), Bovio (15 points, 7 assists, a steal, a block), Hargrove (22 points, a steal). Phoenix was led by Jeanlouis (30 points, 15 boards, 1 assists, a steal), Kennedy (20 points, 4 assists, a steal), Whitfield (16 points, 7 boards, 0 assists, a steal, a block).
