After trailing for much of the first half, Washington closed the third quarter on a 19-7 run, getting six points and three assists from Wall and 3-pointers by Beal and Pierce to take a 67-59 lead. The lead stretched to 15 but Utah closed within six during an 11-2 run before Kris Humphries fed Wall with 2:17 left for a hoop on a perfectly executed play after a timeout, and Beal iced it with a pullup jumper and a drive to lift the Wizards to their seventh straight home triumph.

In a first half that featured six ties and lead changes, Utah converted 12 Washington turnovers into 21 points, and got nine points from Burke. The Wizards shot 6-of-22 in the second quarter and the Jazz scored eight straight points late to take a 42-37 edge at the half.
