"Brooklyn outscored Washington 23-3 over the final 4 1/2 minutes of the first quarter, pushing a six-point lead to 46-20. Porter scored 13 points in the second quarter, with his free throws giving the Nets their largest lead at 60-26. It was 80-47 at halftime. It was the Nets' most points in a half since scoring 91 in the first half against Golden State on Dec. 21, 2022."
"The teams are tied for 13th in the Eastern Conference at 14-37, playing plenty of young players as they angle for lottery position. But Brooklyn had its full roster on the court Saturday while Washington sat a few players on the first back-to-back games. Alex Sarr (right ankle soreness), Kyshawn George (right knee contusion) and Bilal Coulibaly (lower back soreness) were all ruled out Saturday, while the players acquired along with Anthony Davis from Dallas on Wednesday weren't available yet."
Michael Porter Jr. scored 23 points as the Brooklyn Nets used an 80-point first half to beat the short-handed Washington Wizards 127-113, snapping a three-game losing streak. The Nets led by as many as 34 in the second quarter and outscored Washington 23-3 late in the first quarter. Day'Ron Sharpe added 19 and Noah Clowney had 18, while rookie Danny Wolf finished with 16 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Will Riley scored a career-high 27 for Washington and Justin Champagnie had 21 and nine rebounds. Both teams sit 14-37, with Washington missing multiple players due to soreness and injury.
