The Utah Jazz defeated the Washington Wizards, 123-98, at Capital One Arena on Saturday night.

The Jazz (19-7) and the Wizards (15-12) played a tight contest in the first half and it seemed as if the game was going to go down to the wire, but such was not the case and the visitors pulled away for good in the second half en route to a huge victory on enemy territory. In fact, Utah opened up a four-point lead following the first quarter (28-24) only to see the Wizards grab a one-point lead at the break (51-50 following a 27-22 second quarter). The Jazz started the second half with a more aggressive approach and outscored their rivals by a 31-18 score in the opening 12 minutes of the second half, setting up an advantage they'd never relinquish. They didn't step the foot out of the gas, however, and they also won the fourth quarter by a 42-29 score to close things out with ease.
