On a night where the Washington Wizards celebrated one of the greatest players in franchise history, they fell to the Denver Nuggets, 108-100.
This loss was the second in a row for Washington and four out of the last six, as the free fall down the standings of Eastern Conference continues.
The Wizards are now 1.5 games behind the Pacers for the sixth spot in the East, with 10 games left in the regular season.
The Nuggets who are fighting for their own playoff lives were paced by star big man Nikola Jokic and star second year guard Jamal Murray who each had 25 points on the evening.
