WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Caron Butler scored 19 points and Antwan Jamison added 14 and nine rebounds to lead the Washington Wizards past the Sacramento Kings 96-86 Saturday.

The visiting Kings got 23 points from Kevin Martin and 21 points from rookie Tyreke Evans and went on to their third loss in a row.
Washington fended off a Sacramento rally late in the game. Beno Udrih scored on a layup to pull the Kings to within two, but Martin missed on the next Sacramento possession and Jamison nailed an 18-foot jump shot to make it 90-84 with 53.9 seconds to play.
The Kings, who trailed at halftime 48-44, were unable to threaten the Wizards in the final minute.
