One night after Grant beat Washington with a jumper with two seconds left, Washington's best player showed his age. Michael Jordan was held to nine points on 4-of-13 shooting and managed just one shot in three minutes in the fourth quarter, when the Wizards shot just 6-of-18 and were outscored 27-13.

Tyronn Lue had 21 points in 28 minutes off the bench for Washington, which has lost seven of its last eight games.
