Utah's Jazz defeated Washington 122–112 on March 5 at Capital One Arena, with A. Bailey leading the way with 32 points and I. Collier adding 27 in a dominant road performance. The Jazz controlled the game through efficient shooting, connecting on 51.1 percent from the field and 15 three-pointers while committing just 11 turnovers against Washington's 19. Utah's ball movement proved decisive, with 31 assists fueling an offensive rating of 129.9, while their defense held the Wizards to 46.8 percent shooting and a 117.8 offensive rating. The Jazz's strong first quarter (37 points) set the tone early, and despite Washington's third-quarter surge (35 points), Utah's depth and discipline—including 12 steals and a plus-12 rebound advantage (45–43)—proved insurmountable. The final margin fell short of the 240.5 Vegas total, suggesting a more methodical, defensive-minded affair than oddsmakers anticipated. The victory underscores Utah's growing consistency as a road team and reinforces their playoff credentials in the West.
