Wizards Erupt Season-High 138 in Win Over Raptors

The Washington Wizards delivered their most complete offensive performance of the season Friday night, rolling past the Toronto Raptors, 138–117, at Capital One Arena.

Washington’s 138 points marked a season high and tied the most the franchise has ever scored against Toronto. The win was the Wizards’ third in their last six games and showcased balanced scoring, strong bench production, and consistent pressure in the paint.

The Wizards seized control early behind a 38-point second quarter, their highest-scoring quarter of the season, and never looked back. Washington finished with 62 points in the paint, another season high, while outscoring Toronto 52–28 in bench points. It marked the second straight game the Wizards topped 50 bench points.

Three Wizards finished with 20 or more points for the first time this season, led by Kyshawn George, who poured in 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting, including 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. George added six rebounds, three assists and a block in just 28 minutes, continuing a strong stretch of efficient scoring and defensive activity.

Bilal Coulibaly followed with a season-high 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting, while leading the team with eight rebounds. Coulibaly also contributed three steals and a block, marking his first 20-point outing of the season and his fourth 10-point, five-rebound performance.

CJ McCollum added 21 points and four assists, extending his streak of double-figure scoring to 21 straight games. McCollum knocked down three three-pointers and has now recorded 20-plus points in 12 games this season.

Alex Sarr continued his consistent interior play with 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting, along with three blocks, two assists and a steal. Sarr has now reached double figures in 18 of his 20 appearances and recorded multiple blocks in 14 games this season.

Off the bench, Bub Carrington chipped in 15 points, including four three-pointers, extending his career-best streak of games with at least one made three to 22. Carrington has now hit multiple threes in nine of his last 10 games.

Tre Johnson rounded out the scoring with 12 points in reserve duty, marking his 16th double-figure scoring performance of the season.

Washington’s offensive efficiency and defensive activity proved too much for Toronto, as the Wizards controlled the pace and maintained a comfortable lead throughout the second half.
