John Wall and JaVale McGee each scored 18 points, but after playing the night before, the Wizards shot 39.5 percent while getting outrebounded 51-36. They gave up 19 offensive boards and were outscored 52-37 in the second half.
"We have been playing better and competing, but we are not going to make all of our shots all of the time," coach Randy Wittman said. "I don't look at this game as an 18-point loss, we just ran out of gas at the end."
Washington swept last season's series against Utah after the Jazz won six of the previous seven meetings.
Wall, who has averaged 11.5 assists in his last four games and scored 29 points against Portland, averaged 23.5 points and 11.0 assists in the two wins last season.
