Golden State defeated Washington 125–117 on March 16 at Capital One Arena, with Kristaps Porziņģis leading the Warriors with 30 points and De'Anthony Melton adding 27 in a balanced offensive attack. The Warriors shot 50.5 percent from the field and dominated the glass with 41 rebounds to Washington's 36, while also forcing 13 steals and committing just 15 turnovers compared to the Wizards' 21 miscues. Golden State's defensive rating of 113.9 proved decisive against a Washington squad that shot a respectable 51.3 percent but managed only 13 three-pointers and struggled to contain the Warriors' perimeter play. The game finished below the Vegas total of 234.5, with Golden State's first quarter surge—34 points in the opening frame—setting the tone for a methodical road victory. Coulibaly and Riley combined for 42 points for the Wizards in a losing effort. The win extends Golden State's road form and reinforces their defensive versatility heading into the final stretch.
