Filipowski and George help Jazz end 10-game skid with 128-112 win over Wizards

SALT LAKE CITY — Kyle Filipowski scored 21 points, Keyonte George added 20 and the Utah Jazz snapped a season-worst 10-game skid with a 128-112 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.

Collin Sexton had 18 points and Brice Sensabaugh scored 17 for the Jazz in this matchup of the worst teams in each conference. The Wizards entered having won six of 11 to leave the Jazz with the league's worst record.

Colby Jones scored a career-high 24 points in his third game for the Wizards after being acquired from Sacramento, where the second-year player out of Xavier was a little-used reserve.

Rookie Alex Sarr had 22 points and nine rebounds for Washington while sitting out the fourth quarter.
