CATHERINE CALLAWAY, CNN ANCHOR: Well you are only as young as you feel could have been the theme at last night's Utah Jazz- Washington Wizards game.
Dave Johnson, voice of the Wizard, -- he doesn't sound like that -- joins us on the phone from WTOP for his regular Friday chat -- good morning.

DAVE JOHNSON, WTOP SPORTS DIRECTOR: Hey, it was a wild one last night at the MCI Center. And you're right, I mean I'm 38 and I felt young last night, which was a great feeling. But the Wizards able to pull out the win over the Utah Jazz, 105-102.

And you had Michael Jordan and Karl Malone jawing at each other, getting in each other's face. John Stockton, at the age of 41, playing. It just was an intense game. It felt like it was the Chicago Bulls-Jazz series from about five, six years ago.

But in the end, it turned out to be Charles Oakley, 38-year-old Charles Oakley coming up with a big defensive stop at the end as the Jazz trying to pull it out. But it was a crazy one because the Wizards had a 21-point lead at one point in this game, but it turned out to be a 3-point ballgame. But it was a great night to be above 35 last night in the NBA as Jordan had the 19 points and Karl Malone also had a big night.

CALLAWAY: Yes, it's still a lot of fun to watch those guys.

All right. Well thanks for the update. Have a good day.
