Wizards head coach Wes Unseld Jr. shortened the rotation and went with the night’s most productive players to close the game, and the result was a 109-103 win over the Utah Jazz.
Out of the rotation were Corey Kispert (did not play), Aaron Holiday (just 4 minutes), and Davis Bertans (8 minutes). Starting guard Spencer Dinwiddie got just 3 minutes in the fourth quarter — 25 minutes for the game. Those minutes went instead to Deni Avdija, who played an outstanding game, Raul Neto, who provided solid play over 29 minutes, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who played 35 minutes (about 6 over his season average).
