Jordan Poole led the Washington Wizards to a narrow 116-111 victory over the Sacramento Kings, scoring 23 points and helping the team snap a three-game losing streak. The Wizards, tied for the fewest wins in the NBA, had Bub Carrington and AJ Johnson each contribute 19 points, with additional support from Tristan Vukcevic and Anthony Gill.

For the Kings, DeMar DeRozan was a standout, scoring 20 of his 29 points in a valiant fourth-quarter effort, but it was not enough to overcome a 14-point deficit. Despite their late-game push, including a 34-25 scoring run in the fourth, the Kings fell short, further jeopardizing their position in the play-in tournament.
