P.J. Washington made a significant impact in the Mavericks’ loss to the Jazz, scoring 25 points and pulling down 13 rebounds. With Anthony Davis sidelined, Washington shouldered the load, achieving his third double-double of the season. His performance, highlighted by efficient interior scoring, complemented Cooper Flagg’s 42-point outing and collectively represented a substantial portion of the team’s offensive output. Washington’s elevated play continues to impress in Davis’s absence.
