Oh, the humiliation! The player that got away, Roger Mason, comes back with the San Antonio Spurs and drops 25 points - on a night the awful Washington Wizards post their lowest points total in six years.

A season of embarrassment for president Ernie Grunfield's front office hit another low Saturday as the travel-weary Spurs beat the Wizards 98-67. San Antonio wrapped up its annual rodeo road stretch with a 5-3 record, while Washington was left to wonder how much better than 30 games under .500 it would be if Mason were still playing in his hometown.
