In a thrilling matchup, Drew Timme emerged as the hero for the Brooklyn Nets, scoring decisively in the final seconds to lead his team to a 115-112 victory over the struggling Washington Wizards. This marks the end of a difficult six-game losing streak for the Nets, thanks in part to Timme's impressive 19-point performance in just his second NBA game. Alongside him, Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin each contributed 20 points, showcasing a balanced offensive effort.

Despite the Wizards' AJ Johnson and Colby Jones both scoring 20 points, they couldn't capitalize on their early lead, suffering another defeat. The Wizards had previously faced the franchise's most significant loss just days before, and this game highlighted their ongoing struggles. The Nets also managed to avoid a season sweep against the Wizards, a small victory in an otherwise challenging season.
