The Washington Wizards defeated the Golden State Warriors at Capital One Arena on Wednesday night.

The Wizards (25-33) came into the contest with quite the head of steam provided by seven wins in eight games, and they carried that right over into a first quarter from which they emerged with an 18-point lead. However, the Warriors (29-30) roared back to eliminate all but two points from their deficit prior to halftime, and Golden State then stayed hot after intermission on their way to a seven-point advantage going into the final period. It was Washington's turn in the fourth quarter, however, as it finished on a 13-6 run over the final 2:18 and sealed the win on a pair of Davis Bertans free throws with 5.2 seconds remaining.

Kelly Oubre, Jr. led the Warriors with 24 points, adding nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks. Jordan Poole checked in with 22 points, three rebounds and two steals. Kent Bazemore supplied 19 points, nine rebounds, three assists, six steals and two blocks. Stephen Curry furnished 18 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and one steal. Andrew Wiggins totaled 14 points, four rebounds and three steals.

Bradley Beal paced the Wizards with 29 points, complementing them with 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals. Daniel Gafford and Bertans produced matching 19-point tallies, with Gafford also pulling down rebounds and recording three blocks, and Bertans recording six boards. Raul Neto compiled 18 points, four assists, three rebounds and three steals. Russell Westbrook generated a 14-point, 20-rebound, 10-assist triple-double that also included three steals.

The Warriors return home to host the Denver Nuggets on Friday night, while the Wizards visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night as well.
