Despite dropping their Las Vegas Summer League opener, the Jazz entered Thursday with momentum after finishing a perfect 3-0 at the Salt Lake City Summer League.

Peterson starred during that stretch, scoring 28 points in Utah's opening win over the Atlanta Hawks before following with 25 points and 12 assists in a 109-100 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. The Jazz then rested their starters in a 103-69 rout of the Oklahoma City Thunder to complete the unbeaten run.

Thursday marked Washington's first Summer League game, and Dybantsa wasted little time making an impression. The No. 1 overall pick scored 11 first-half points to help the Wizards build a 29-18 halftime lead.

Utah answered with a 25-16 third quarter to pull within striking distance entering the fourth. Washington responded with a 9-0 run to regain control, but the Jazz mounted one final push, closing the game on a 7-2 spurt capped by Peterson's buzzer-beating 3-pointer. 

The rally wasn't enough, however, as the Wizards held on for the four-point victory.

The Wizards continue Las Vegas Summer League play Sunday against the Sacramento Kings, while the Jazz will face the Los Angeles Clippers later that day.
