The Washington Wizards are still above .500 after a 109-103 win over the Utah Jazz on Saturday night.
Washington started off this game, much like many of their recent games, in an early hole. The team could not hit a three, opening up 1-of-10 from behind the arc. In the 2nd quarter, sparked by strong play off the bench by Deni Avdija and Raul Neto, the Wizards climbed back from being down by as much as 11 to take a 54-50 lead at the half. Much of their comeback came as a result of protecting the ball (only 2 turnovers) and much better shooting (4-of-8 from 3 after the 1-of-10 start).
