eiver Allen Hurns hurt his ankle on Jacksonvilles second

WASHINGTON -- After Kemba Walkers potentially tying 3-point try went around the rim and out at the buzzer of the Charlotte Hornets third consecutive loss, the star guard and coach Steve Clifford agreed on this: The team needs to be more physical.Sooner or later, weve got to respond. We have to respond as a group or its not going to get better, Clifford said. Im sick of watching it, frankly.John Wall and Bradley Beal combined for 19 of their 45 points in the third quarter, and the Wizards outrebounded the Hornets while scoring twice as many points in the paint during Washingtons 109-106 victory over the Southeast Division leaders Wednesday night.Its the lack of physicality overall. I just told them that. I love our guys, but listen: We got knocked around ... again tonight, Clifford said. If guys arent willing to be more physical, were going to be an up-and-down team. Well struggle to make the playoffs. You have to change -- no matter how old you are, how many years youve been in the league.Told of his coachs assessment, Walker said: He sees it all. Hes watching the whole game. So hes right.Charlotte is 0-3 to start a five-game road trip after losses at Cleveland on Saturday, then at Indiana on Monday.Against Washington, the Hornets led by as many as 10 early in the third quarter, then trailed by as many as 12, but made things interesting at the end.The Hornets pulled within two points after Marco Belinelli stole the ball from Wall, leading to Cody Zellers layup with 10.6 seconds remaining. Wall made one of two free throws a second later for a three-point lead, before Nicolas Batum and Walker both missed 3s that would have tied it.After Batums miss, Walker got the rebound and moved out beyond the arc to launch his shot, which came oh-so-close to going in at the buzzer.Beal said afterward he was a little nervous, Im not going to lie, because he had a solid look.TIP-INSHornets: Batum scored 20 points on his 28th birthday. He had game highs of 14 points and seven assists in the first half, helping Charlotte lead 54-49. ... G Ramon Sessions, who played the last two seasons for Washington, scored four points.Wizards: Wall drew a technical -- his sixth of the season -- for jawing with Belinelli after making a basket in the fourth quarter. ... Markieff Morris was a late scratch because of a sore left foot. Kelly Oubre Jr. started in his place and scored 15 points. ... Rookie F Danuel House missed his 10th game in a row with a broken right wrist.WALL VS. WALKERWall, wearing bright orange neon shoes, outplayed Walker, finishing with more points (25-17) and assists (10-9), along with seven steals to become Washingtons franchise leader in that category, surpassing Greg Ballard, who played in the 1970s and 1980s. Wall became the teams career leader in assists earlier this season.He wants to be the best at everything he does, Beal said of his backcourt mate.BIG QUARTERWashington eclipsed its season high for points in a quarter during the third, outscoring Charlotte 38-23 in that period, including a 23-5 run.BEALS DEALBeal, 0 for 6 in the first half, scored 11 points in the third. He finished with 20 points, a career-high nine assists and one turnover.Oh, thats a good ratio, he said with a big smile.UP NEXTHornets: At the Boston Celtics on Saturday night.Wizards: Host the Detroit Pistons on Friday night.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich Ultra Boost 19 Canada . -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands.
