Regular Season Round 44: Washington W. - Utah Jazz 93-84

Date: December 14, 2014
Guard Bradley Beal scored 22 points and fueled a second-half surge along with backcourt partner John Wall as the Washington Wizards took control in the second half for a 93-84 victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night for their fourth straight win. Wall had 16 points, eight assists, six rebounds, five steals and three blocks for the Wizards (17-6), who outscored the Jazz 30-16 in the third quarter after trailing 42-37 at halftime. Forward Paul Pierce had 15 points. Washington didn't value possessions in the first half, but swung the turnover battle its way over the final two quarters. Utah (6-18) committed 10 of its 17 turnovers in the second half. Washington had 15, but only three after halftime. The Wizards have won eight of nine games overall and seven straight at home. The current four-game run is the longest active winning streak in the Eastern Conference. The victory improved their record to 5-1 against the Western Conference. Guard Alec Burks scored 19 points and forward Gordon Hayward had 16 for the Jazz. Utah has lost 11 of 12. The Wizards held their largest lead at 85-70 with 6:03 remaining, but the Jazz chipped away and pulled within 87-81 with 2:19 remaining. Wall was credited with a basket via a goaltending call on Washington's next possession and the Utah would get no closer. Jazz power forward Derrick Favors did not play after suffering a right ankle sprain in the first half against the Miami Heat on Friday. Second-year big man Rudy Gobert replaced Favors and had seven points and nine rebounds in his first NBA start. Wall's streak of games with at least 11 assists ended at seven, but he and Beal filled up the stat sheet while committing only one personal foul. Coming off a decisive victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday, Washington played a lackluster first half and the upstart Jazz took advantage as they opened a six-game road trip. Utah converted Washington's 12 first-half turnovers into 21 points. Returning to the court with energy and better ball control, Washington took the lead for good at 52-51 on Beal's 3-pointer and led 67-58 entering the fourth. Utah guard Trey Burke scored 15 points. Center Enes Kanter had 10 points and 11 rebounds. Courtesy of: wptz.com
