The Washington Wizards put together a solid performance in their last outing, securing a 125-112 victory over the Utah Jazz. Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors pulled off a narrow 114-113 win against the Orlando Magic, with strong contributions from RJ Barrett.

Wizards Take Down Jazz with Balanced Effort

Washington capitalized on efficient shooting and solid team play to take down the Jazz. The Wizards shot 44.2% from the field (42-of-95) while knocking down 17-of-47 three-pointers (36.2%). They also converted 24-of-29 free throws (82.8%), making the most of their opportunities at the line.

Defensively, Washington forced 15 turnovers and recorded nine steals, helping them control the pace of the game. While Utah out-rebounded them (58-45), including 17 offensive boards, the Wizards made up for it by sharing the ball effectively, finishing with 32 assists as a team.

Kyshawn George was a key contributor, scoring 23 points on 8-of-17 shooting (47.1%), while also adding seven rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes. His all-around effort helped lead the Wizards to their 12th win of the season.

Despite the victory, Washington remains in a tough spot with a 12-49 record. They rank 27th in the NBA in scoring (108.3 PPG) while shooting 43.9% from the field. Their three-point shooting has been inconsistent (33.4% on the season), and turnovers remain an issue, as they average 16.0 per game. On defense, the Wizards continue to struggle, allowing 120.6 points per game (29th in the NBA) while giving up 47.8 rebounds per contest.

Raptors Edge Magic in Hard-Fought Battle

Toronto pulled out a thrilling 114-113 victory over Orlando in their last matchup, thanks to clutch free-throw shooting and strong rebounding. The Raptors converted 26-of-35 free throws (74.3%), making the most of their trips to the line, while also shooting 40.0% from three (12-of-30).

Defensively, Toronto allowed the Magic to shoot 48.2% from the field (40-of-83) and 41.7% from three (15-of-36), but their dominance on the boards helped make up for it. The Raptors grabbed 48 total rebounds (13 offensive, 35 defensive) and forced 20 Orlando turnovers, giving them extra possessions to work with.

RJ Barrett was instrumental in the win, scoring 21 points on 7-of-14 shooting (50.0%) while also dishing out nine assists and grabbing eight rebounds in 32 minutes. His ability to create offense and contribute across the board played a major role in Toronto’s victory.

With a 20-42 record, the Raptors continue to battle through a challenging season. They rank 15th in the NBA in field goal percentage (46.5%) while averaging 110.4 points per game. Their passing has been a bright spot, ranking 9th in assists per game (28.4), but turnovers (15.7 per game) and foul trouble (21.6 per game) have been concerns. Defensively, they allow 116.1 points per game (24th in the NBA) while struggling to limit opponent shooting, with teams hitting 47.1% from the field against them.

Looking Ahead

The Wizards will look to build on their momentum, but with their defensive struggles and turnover issues, consistency remains a challenge. Meanwhile, the Raptors’ ability to stay competitive in tight games is encouraging, but they will need to clean up their turnovers and defensive execution if they want to string together more wins.

Both teams will need to make adjustments as they continue their seasons, with Washington aiming for development and Toronto looking to refine their play to close out the season on a stronger note.
