WASHINGTON (AP) — Michael Porter Jr. scored 34 points and Tyrese Martin scored seven straight points late in the third quarter and finished with 20 as the Brooklyn Nets sent the Washington Wizards to their 11th straight loss, 129-106 Sunday night in a matchup of one-win teams.

The Nets snapped a four-game skid and won for the first time since beating Indiana 112-103 in the first week of November, a victory that ended a run of seven straight losses to open the season. Both of Brooklyn’s victories have come on the road, where they are 2-5.
