(John McDonnell/The Washington Post)It has been so long, almost three months, since the Washington Wizards had felt the disappointment of a loss at home. Wall forced a turnover and effectively sealed the Wizards’ 105-91 victory, extending Washington’s home winning streak to 17 games. “We want to play solid throughout the game, and in the fourth quarter, it’s always been about picking up the intensity,” Washington Coach Scott Brooks said. Markieff Morris added 18 points — and had a tone-setting dunk in the fourth quarter to start that game-closing run. Wall had that in mind as he thought ahead to extending the Wizards’ overall win streak, not just its run at Verizon Center.
