Jazz take down Wizards to halt 10-game skid

Wizards, Jazz

Kyle Filipowski scored 21 points and Keyonte George had 20 as the Utah Jazz snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 128-112 win over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday in Salt Lake City.

Utah (16-54) used a 14-0 run in the second half to build a 21-point lead en route to its first victory in March in a battle of the teams with the worst records in the NBA.

The Jazz’s last win was a 117-116 decision against Minnesota on Feb. 28.

Colby Jones made 9 of 11 shots to lead all scorers with 24 points, while Alex Sarr netted 22 points with nine rebounds for the Wizards (15-53).

The Wizards took an early 11-point lead but couldn’t hold on as they concluded a seven-game road trip with a 3-4 mark.

Collin Sexton added 18 points, Isaiah Collier chipped in with 16 points and six assists, Jordan Clarkson fired in 14 and Oscar Tshiebwe snagged 10 rebounds for Utah.

Washington scored the first seven points and took a double-digit lead, 18-7, after Tristan Vukcevic dropped in a floater. He finished with 17 points.

Utah used a 10-0 run to tighten things up and went into the locker room up 64-63 after Sensabaugh drained a buzzer-beating corner 3.

Sensabaugh scored seven straight Jazz points in the third quarter to increase the lead to 89-81.

Utah was up by seven early in the fourth quarter when Sensabaugh had another hot streak. He hit a pull-up jumper and then added five more points in a 14-0 run that put the Jazz ahead 111-90.

Jones sparked a Wizards rally, scoring seven points in a 14-2 surge that helped the visitors trim the deficit to nine with 5:43 left.

That’s as close as Washington got down the stretch, and the Jazz scored seven straight in the final two minutes to clinch the rare win.
