The Washington Wizards defeated the Golden State Warriors, 112 - 108, at Verizon Center on Tuesday evening. The Warriors (50 - 10) were already facing a tough challenge coming in to Tuesday, as they were up against a quality opponent on the road and playing in their third game in four nights. However, matters got exponentially worse for them early in the first quarter, when Kevin Durant was forced from the contest with a hyperextended left knee. A frazzled Golden State squad fell behind 40 - 26 by the end of the period, before regrouping and outscoring the Wizards (35 - 23) by a 59 - 45 margin over the second and third quarters. The Warriors' resurgence led to an 85 - 85 stalemate entering the final 12 minutes, and with 17 seconds remaining, the game was once again tied at 108. Washington then saw Otto Porter, Jr. and Markieff Morris drain two free throws apiece, and Klay Thompson miss a 26 - foot three - point jumper as time expired to seal the win. Stephen Curry stepped up in Durant's absence to tally a team - high 25 points, which he supplemented with seven rebounds, four assists and three steals. Thompson was next with 16 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals. Draymond Green posted a 14 - point, 14 - assist double - double that also included eight boards, two steals and one block. Shaun Livingston matched Green's scoring total while leading the bench, adding three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal. Zaza Pachulia managed 12 points and eight rebounds. Bradley Beal paced the Wizards with 25 points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals. Morris was close behind with 22 points, six rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals. Bojan Bogdanovic led the second unit with 16 points, his highest scoring total since joining the Wizards. Porter filled out the stat sheet with 14 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two steals. Marcin Gortat and John Wall turned in matching 12 - point efforts, with the former adding 12 boards, one assist and one block, and the latter dishing out a game - high 19 assists while also bringing down six rebounds and recording a pair of steals. The Warriors now head to the Windy City to tangle with the Bulls on Thursday evening, while the Wizards head north of the border for a showdown with the conference rival Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.
