Jazz: Before the skid that ended Wednesday, they also had an eight-game losing streak in January.

Key moment Sensabaugh made a corner 3-pointer at the first-half buzzer to give the Jazz a 64-63 lead at the break, and Utah trailed only briefly in the second half.

Key stats Jordan Poole, the Wizards' leading scorer, went 1 for 11 from the field and 0 for 9 from 3-point range to finish with two points. Washington reserve Anthony Gill had season highs in minutes (24) and points (10).
