Wizards Daily Links: Thursday

Wall disagrees with coaching decision in Wizards’ fourth-quarter collapse against Hornets: The Washington Wizards started the fourth quarter of their 101-87 loss to the Charlotte Hornets Wednesday night with a seven-point lead that ballooned to nine, their biggest of the night, 2 minutes 17 seconds into the period. The lead came thanks to a 17-2 run. They also began the quarter with John Wall and Bradley Beal, their two leading scorers, on the bench, and Wall believes that was a decision that doomed Washington in what became a historically dreadful six-point quarter. -- The Washington Post

Wizards go AWOL in fourth quarter: Twice in the fourth quarter Wednesday night, as his Washington Wizards were in the midst of a historic meltdown in a 101-87 loss at Time Warner Cable Arena, Coach Randy Wittman implored his players to lift their heads up during timeouts. He told them they were still in the game even as they shot brick after brick and the Charlotte Hornets made their shots. -- The Washington Post

Wizards freeze in 101-87 loss to Hornets: With a nine-point lead early in the fourth quarter, the Wizards went cold as they were outscored 25-2 by the Charlotte Hornets who pulled away for their seventh consecutive win 101-87 at Time Warner Cable Arena on Wednesday night. -- CSN Washington

John Wall sounds irritable after another high turnover game: The breakout year for John Wall, in an open-floor style offense that's supposed to play to his strengths, isn't happening. After his fourth game with at least six turnovers, he's averaging near career lows in assists (8.1), rebounds (3.4), foul shooting (75%) and scoring (16.7). -- CSN Washington
