The Washington Wizards defeated the Orlando Magic 120–112 on January 6 at Capital One Arena, with C. McCollum leading the way on 27 points and A. Sarr adding 23 in a balanced scoring effort. Washington's third-quarter dominance proved decisive, outscoring Orlando 39–37 in that frame to establish control, though the Magic mounted a fourth-quarter push with 25 points. The Wizards shot 45.3 percent from the field and made 11 three-pointers while forcing 19 Orlando turnovers, capitalizing on defensive intensity with 12 steals and a 115.9 offensive rating. Orlando's J. Richardson led the visitors with 20 points and D. Bane contributed 15, but the Magic's 19 turnovers and 19-point deficit in bench scoring proved costly despite shooting 45.7 percent and making 12 threes. The final margin fell shy of the Vegas total of 235.5, with Washington's defensive rating of 103.2 limiting Orlando's efficiency in the second half. The Wizards' balanced attack and turnover creation suggest continued momentum in the Eastern Conference standings.
