The Washington Wizards won their fifth game of the season last night in a 111-108 overtime thriller over the Toronto Raptors. The game’s most bizarre highlight, however, came early in the third quarter when Wizards center JaVale McGee began to sprint back on defense despite Washington maintaining possession of the ball. See McGee’s mistake below: http://blacksportsonline.springboardplatform.com/mediaplayer/springboard/video/blso003/803/435689/The 24-year-old big man has been a bright spot for the Wizards, averaging 10.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks per contest. He has, however, caught negative attention for some of his on-the-court antics in the past. Last season he famously attempted to get a triple-double by purposely taking bad shots in a late-season blowout to the Chicago Bulls. Earlier this season, he threw himself an alley-oop off the backboard on a fast break during an eventual loss to the Houston Rockets.

Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin and Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Zbynek Michalek will both face hearings today for hits registered in Sunday afternoon’s faceoff between their respective teams, according to the USA Today.

Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin is accused of giving an illegal check to the back of the head on Michalek. Similarly, Michalek allegedly struck Capitals player Matt Hendricks in the back of the head with his elbow. Michalek’s hearing will be first, according to USA Today, followed by Ovechkin’s this afternoon.

The Washington Capitals ultimately lost 4-3 to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the match. Down 0-2 at the end of the first period, Washington climbed back and scored three unanswered goals.  The Penguins forced the game into overtime with a third period goal, however, where they ultimately won the game.

The Capitals are currently second in the Southeast Division with a record of 25-19-3.  The Penguins are third in the Atlantic Division with a record of  27-17-4.
