The Wizards beat the Nuggets 92-85 in a sloppy, hard to watch game where the two teams committed a combined 47 turnovers. Bradley Beal led the way for the Wizards with a game-high 26 points while Markieff Morris and John Wall chipped in with 15 apiece.
Once again, the Wizards got off to a slow start tonight and found themselves down double digits just minutes into this game. It felt like this one could get out of hand early but lo and behold, the bench played very well in the first half. Led by Kelly Oubre with eight points, the bench combined for 17 points in the half as the Wizards chipped away at the Nuggets lead and trailed by just five, 52-47 at halftime.
