For as electrifying as the Washington Wizards' play and the atmosphere at Verizon Center was in their upset victory against Cleveland on Thursday, everything about Saturday night was just as flat. The Wizards again faced a team led by an MVP candidate - this time Miami's Dwyane Wade. Unlike Thursday, the Wizards didn't rise to the occasion, suffering a 118-104 defeat.
Gone was the sizzle created Thursday by franchise point guard Gilbert Arenas. He sat out Saturday's game to rest his surgically repaired left knee. Missing in action was a scoring punch off the bench. Spark plug guard Nick Young sprained his knee in the first quarter, and usually reliable backup big man Darius Songaila had a quiet night.

ON THE COURT
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, who continues to start at shooting guard, played an active game, scoring 13 points in 33 minutes, snaring nine rebounds and, as always, making his presence felt defensively. PLAY OF THE GAME: In the third quarter, Mbah a Moute drove the baseline, only to confront Washington's 6-foot-9 Darius Songaila. But Songaila, stationed under the basket, had his back turned to the ball and Mbah a Moute went in for an uncontested dunk and a 72-59 lead.

When Flip Saunders gets around to taking a hard look at the 15- player roster of the Wizards, he will find the limited, the attitudinally challenged and the physically spent.
It is a roster in need of a makeover once you look past Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison, Brendan Haywood, JaVale McGee, Dominic McGuire, Darius Songaila and Javaris Crittenton.

Washington Wizards forward Darius Songaila received his first "DNP - Coach's Decision" in the team's 106-93 home loss to Detroit on Wednesday.
Wizards coach Eddie Jordan said he didn't use Songaila against the Pistons for matchup reasons and because Songaila has been hampered lately by a bothersome Achilles tendon in his left leg.
