McCollum's Late Jumper Lifts Shorthanded Wizards Over Bucks, 114-113

The result halts Milwaukee's bid for a first three-game winning streak this season.

Overview

  • C.J. McCollum buried a pull-up with one second left to secure Washington's road win, and Giannis Antetokounmpo missed a final shot at the buzzer.
  • Antetokounmpo scored 33 points, briefly exited the fourth quarter after a hard fall, returned in the final minutes, and continues to operate under a minutes plan following a calf strain.
  • Wizards reserves Bub Carrington and Alex Sarr each scored 20 points as Washington prevailed despite absences for Kyshawn George, Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore.
  • Milwaukee's early fourth-quarter turnovers ignited a 13-3 Washington surge highlighted by three consecutive Carrington threes, flipping control before the late-game finish.
  • The win gives Washington a 2-1 edge in the season series, dropping the Bucks to 14-20 on 41.1% shooting as they went 16-for-39 from three.
