Alex Sarr Shines as Wizards Stun Nuggets in Thrilling Finish
Wow, what a game! The Washington Wizards pulled off a jaw-dropping 126-123 win over the Denver Nuggets, and the hero of the night? Well, we gotta talk about two guys—Jordan Poole, who hit an ice-cold three-pointer with just 2.1 seconds left, and the rising young star, Alex Sarr, who had the best game of his career.

Let’s start with Sarr. At just 19 years old, this guy went OFF, dropping a career-high 34 points, grabbing six rebounds, and dishing out five assists. Not only did he step up big time, but he also became the youngest player in Wizards history to score 30+ points in a game. That’s history in the making right there! This kid is proving why he was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 draft, and if this is just the beginning, the Wizards might finally have something to build on.
But of course, the game wasn’t decided until the very last moments. With the score tied at 123, Jordan Poole pulled up from way downtown—literally 35 feet out—and sank a dagger of a three-pointer. The crowd was stunned, and even Nikola Jokic, who had an insane 40-point, 13-rebound game, couldn’t save the Nuggets in those final seconds. Washington might be near the bottom of the standings, but they just managed to sweep Denver in the regular season.
This win might not mean much for playoff positioning, but it’s a huge confidence booster for the Wizards. They’ve been struggling all season, but when guys like Poole and Sarr step up in big moments, it shows they’ve got some serious potential. If Sarr keeps developing like this, we could be witnessing the rise of a future NBA star. Keep an eye on this kid—he’s just getting started!
