hoop fans were ready to ship randy wittman off the ship, walk the plank swabby.izards were struggling in dst of a 3-9 stretch in february, arrr, but wittman is proving to be a wizard when it comes to playoff road games, pun intended there. round two eastern semis in atlanta. hawks were supposed to be the tired team, but al horford starting fast. hawks led by 11 after one. atlanta jacked up 38 three- point shots. that one went down, but they shot themselves out of rhythm a lot in this game. late 3rd wall to drew gooden, dr. drew, what's the recipe? yeah, right there, washington's bench players plus nine compared to atlanta. 4th quarter bradley beal parmesan was good. he had 28 but injured his ankle. back to the bench otto porter, ottomatic, 10 points, 11 rebounds. washington taking advantage of the rest to win 104-98. >> that's only one. that doesn't mean nothing. we want to come out and compete. we know this is a resilient team. i had one careless turnover. they'll come back more aggressive tuesday. that's only one win. >> wall banged his wrist but came right bac

coach randy wittman told me today despite the loss of wall the way the team has been able to overcomet has helped build their confidence moving forward. >> just a matter of people stepping up, but just being who you are, you know. we aren't going to put anybody on the floor that can do the things john can. as long as we understand that and stay to our strengths as individuals, you can have success. >> reporter: of course, just here last night we saw the caps fall to the new york rangers forcing a game seven, but they had to chip back from a deficit from the very beginning of the game. despite that that didn't do much to dampen the confidence of that team either as they head up to new york next, especially that of the great 8 in. his postgame comments alex ovechkin made a bold statement saying we will come back and win this series. he said something to that effect a few time over the night. it's being called the ovie guarantee and today coach barry trotz stood by his captain's comments. >> what do you expect a player to say? i love that. i love that a player has got the wherewithal to

he did not practice today, but head coach randy wittman is not ready to count them out just yet. >> weave to move one day at a time. there is no timetable for something like this. i guess it's the best way i can put it. again, if there is a slight chance he can is holding on for that. robert open it was all about the rookie. only one goal shy of a hat trick, scoring his first postseason goals. after the rangers tied it, it was andrea again early in the third. the caps take game one. guess you came to crash the party. in a winning is the marlins -- just a good day for d.c. sports. >> to see a dozen of them there. they were as excited as we were to win the hockey game. we really appreciate the support. there really nice guys. really quality people. and hopefully one day will be get out -- able to get up and watch them play. robert: this is a result you -- eddie rozario's first game. and he did this on his first pitch on his first wing. on top of that they should out the a's, 13-0. alison: i love the family's reaction. leon: that is where he starts. he has ruined it for himself now. aliso

however randy wittman is not a happy camper right now. oday he responded to a report coming out of the "washington post" saying that wall is clashing with medical experts on his wrist. here randy whitman from today. randy: that is so far from the truth i've got to say something. our doctors that are busting their [bleep] to have something like that said. that's not right. i have to stand up for those people in there. i don't want to hear anything else. next question. >> you brought it up. randy: next question. robert: randy, i have never seen that side of you before. outside of m.s.g. for game five, caps lead 3-1. i have seen a lot of red, white and blue out here. not for the caps though. hopefully we will come across more cap fans as we get closer to game time. guys, back to you in the studio. alison: yeah. i hope you will. all right robert, thank you very much. scott: yes. caps caps caps. all right. still to come here at 5:00 -- >> a new construction site and an old building suddenly in danger of collapse. i'm stephen tschida. i will tel

randy wittman obviously taking offense with the comments. everyone on edge this time of year. playoffs. >> you lose your star player in the playoffs. >> he's probably more upset at that than the actual report. that's the issue here. >> and it was worse. >> absolutely. john wahl spoke for the first time since the news came down that he fractured five bones in his wrist and hand. he's still hopeful that he can go tomorrow. >> if the pain goes away and i can dribble and do those things again, do i feel like it's a risk to hurt my hand down the road or do i feel like i can take the risk to play? how competitive i am. if i'm able to do those things and dribble and do what i want to do and be myself there's a great percentage i would play. if i can't be myself there's no point in going out there. >> the swelling has gone down. we'll see if he can go tomorrow. >> we're rooting for the whichevers with >>> on this friday night, military on alert. security at u.s. bases raised to its highest level i concerns about violent home grown extremists and tonight an urgent warning from the fbi

for randy wittman he says next man up. rally towels are ready. might it be a drama dripping affair like the end of game three? paul pierce buzzer beater shook the verizon center. tonight the wizards hope to make it two in a row. >> there are things we have to do better. some adjustments we'll make. i won't tell you what they are. >> we have to continue to stay focused. especially today being at home. tim: wizards know they are facing a hungry team. washington has a chance to make it a 3-1 series lead. >> we have continue to play hard. like last night and this one. continue to play. we have to feel like we're down and come out with the same mentality knowing they will hit us. we can't back down. we have to hit them first. tim: so john wall won't play tonight and that is huge. for hockey fans the incredible spring in washington sports continues. i have to be honest. i love the proclamation by great 8 for game seven against the rangers. >> the character in the group is way too high. we are going to play our game. i am going to come back and play mon

randy wittman is encouraged. wall has five non-displaced fractures in the left hand. it's still swollen but the swelling has come down enough that john could handle the basketball and dribble at practice. he took jump-shots. that is good news for the wizards. wall will be examined tomorrow and until he is cleared he is listed as questionable going to game five tomorrow night. >> the swelling is minimal now. all right? and still a little but nothing where it was. that is it. it's very light today. it's not like he is out there sprinting them down. that is where we are at. alison: that is exciting as you will see. tim: caps went through the final skate-around before leaving for manhattan. i can tell you that there were serious emotion attached to the shoot-around. ovechkin is fired up. hard to read if it's frustration, pressure or pent-up energy. caps are in new york to gear up and getting ready for game seven at madison square garden. bower says despite being the underdog caps are ready. >> we expect to win the series. we know here that we can win the series. like i sa

. >> and randy wittman say ss he expects him to play tomorrow for game six. and with john wall the wizards are the better team and they lost last night, but he was a warrior showing few signs that he had five broken bones in the left hand and even using the left hand there, and finished with 15 point ss, but the wizards could not come home with the lead giving up the lead with a last-second shot by al horford there in the lars second shot and the wiz down but not out, and redady to learn from the mistakes of the past. >> i think that just i have been in the situation last year, and having the game six back home, and having the opportunity to try to win this game. we are playing better this season than last year at home and having the opportunity to win it and come bakck to win game seven, and we failed in that position from last year, and we don't want the end it at home. we want the opportunity to come back to close it out here. >> so nice. meantime the boys of summer are keeping it bright around here. the nats have won 12 of 15 games, including the yesterda

we did talk to randy wittman today. he said there's no change in john wall's status. so for the third straight game he will be on the bench. he also didn't really give us an updated timetable on his injuries. so the wizards going again without their all-star point guard. they'll have to find a way to get nor w to take the lead -- another w to take the lead down to atlanta. i asked about the buzzer beater, the way they won saturday night, it does something for a team and their confidence. he said it may, but this team got their confidence boost in game two, which of their first without john wall. despite the loss wittman and the team were that he with their performance and the way everyone stepped up and played to their own strength. they'll have to do it again tonight. we'll have more coming up at 6:00, but we wanted to bring you more on this incredible story. diane roberts met up with a man who knows walking is good for you firsthand. >> reporter: richard albero is a 65-year-old learning to be one with the earth one step at a step. he's walking from tampa to the bron

that according to head coach randy wittman. to the bad news wall won't play but the good, the swelling has gone down. the guard hasn't dribbled a basketball since being diagnosed with the fractures. with or without wall the wizards have to start closing out games better. the hawks came back on saturday night to tie the game up. despite getting the win, though the wizards, they can't let that happen again. >> that's probably the fastest 20-point comeback i have ever been a part of. you know? that's something to stray away from. we played great for 42 minutes and the last what 6 they kind of beat us up a little bit. we have to do a better job closing the game up. >> getting leads like that we have to continue to step on the throttle. continue to go up run our plays. you know? and continue to strive for excellence. >> tip-off here at the verz center in a few moments for game four. >> the caps headed back to madison square garden for game seven. they were leading the series 3-1 but now tied at 3-3 as they hope to go back to madison
