The Washington Wizards won Wednesday’s battle of the bottom-dwellers, outlasting the Utah Jazz in a 125-122 affair at Capital One Arena.
The Wizards put on a ball movement clinic in the first half of the contest. The home team assisted on 20 of their 22 made field goals over the first two quarters. 12 of those were three-pointers.
Alex Sarr, in particular, was aggressive early on against fellow rookie Kyle Filipowski, who got the start for an injury-depleted Jazz team. Sarr scored eight of his 16 first-half points in the paint. Kyshawn George tallied 10 points, while Khris Middleton had six assists as Washington led 62-55 at the break.
