Golden State's offense clicked at 51.8 percent from the field while draining 19 three-pointers, though their defense allowed Washington to shoot 52.6 percent and match them with 18 threes. The Wizards' W. Riley (22 points) and B. Coulibaly (21 points) kept the contest competitive throughout, but the Warriors' fourth-quarter surge—39 points in the final frame—proved decisive after a sluggish third quarter. Golden State controlled the glass with 43 rebounds to Washington's 38 and distributed 32 assists to the Wizards' 29, while both teams committed roughly the same turnovers (12 for GSW, 11 for WAS). The game finished below the Vegas total of 230.5, suggesting a defensive grind despite the scoring output. The Warriors' late-quarter execution underscores their closing strength as they continue jockeying for playoff positioning.
