WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- DeShaun Stevenson scored 19 points Saturday to lead five players in double figures in the Washington Wizards' 92-79 victory over Sacramento.
Washington's lead was 33-24 after one quarter, but Sacramento pulled within 52-51 at the half. A 28-16 third helped Washington gain control of the contest.
Brendan Haywood had 17 points and 11 rebounds, Antawn Jamison had 16 points and eight rebounds, Roger Mason scored 13 points, while Caron Butler added 12 points and eight assists for the Wizards -- who extended their winning streak to four games despite the loss of guard Antonio Daniels for 2-4 weeks because of a right-knee ligament injury.
