Washington scored the first six points of the fourth to tie it before Allen sparked a 7-0 run with a three-point play that gave the Bucks the lead for good, 87-84, with 9:07 to go.
Jordan made just two of six shots and commited three turnovers in the final 12 minutes as the Wizards lost their fifth straight game and fell to 1-3 at the MCI Center.
