Wizards' Jordan Poole Clinches Win Over Nuggets with Last-Second Three

The Washington Wizards achieved a surprising season sweep against the Denver Nuggets, winning both encounters in the 2025 NBA regular season. In their latest matchup, Jordan Poole hit a dramatic game-winning three-pointer with just 1.8 seconds left, finishing the game with 19 points and six assists. This victory followed an earlier December game where Poole scored a career-high 39 points against the Nuggets. Despite Nikola Jokic's impressive 40-point performance and Jamal Murray's late-game efforts, the Nuggets struggled defensively and will need to address depth concerns as they approach the playoffs. The game featured multiple lead changes in the final minutes, showcasing the competitive nature of the match-up. Coach Michael Malone acknowledged the need for improvement, particularly in defense, as the Nuggets faced an uphill battle in the current season.
