Jakob Poeltl scored an efficient 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Toronto Raptors to a 112-104 win over the host Washington Wizards on Monday.

Poeltl made nine of his first 10 attempts on the way to a 10-of-13 performance from the field, helping Toronto (25-47) end its four-game losing streak. Immanuel Quickley added a less efficient 21 points, making five of his 16 attempts from the floor. Scottie Barnes chipped in 13 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, while rookie Jamal Shead scored 14 points off the bench.

Jordan Poole finished with 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting to lead the Wizards (15-56), who took their fifth loss in a row. Alex Sarr added 16 points on 6-of-19 shooting, while fellow rookie AJ Johnson scored a career-high 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting off the bench.

The Raptors seemed to pull away with a 20-12 rally through the first six-plus minutes of the fourth quarter. Jamison Battle gave Toronto the game’s first double-digit lead with 5:41 remaining, draining his third 3-pointer of the night to put the Raptors ahead 98-88.

The Wizards managed to trim the deficit to six with 3:26 remaining, but the Raptors scored the next six points to wrap it up. Ochai Agbaji dunked, A.J. Lawson hit a layup and Jonathan Mogbo dunked with 1:53 left to raise the gap to 110-98.

Toronto stretched a 52-50 halftime lead to 67-59 early in the second half, capped by a basket from Poeltl. The last-place Wizards answered with a 10-0 run, however, taking a 69-67 lead on a Poole 3-pointer midway through the third quarter.

The Wizards led by as many as eight points in the first quarter before the Raptors charged back in the second behind seven points from Barnes.

The Raptors finished 41-for-101 (40.6 percent) from the field, making 10-for-36 attempts (27.8 percent) from 3-point range. The Wizards shot 35-for-87 from the field (40.2 percent) and shot 11-for-37 (29.7 percent) from beyond the arc. Toronto outrebounded Washington 60-48 and outscored the Wizards 50-42 in the paint.
