The Israeli returned to the floor, 9 minutes before the end of the last quarter and was a significant part of the Wizards' last run, which saw the advantage shrink even further before they opened a double-digit gap again.
In the closing minutes, Danny scored a three from another Westbrook delivery and also added a half-distance basket and also a post-up with the board.
Bradley Bill led the winner with 26 points, Russell Westbrook finished with another triple double, this time with 23 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists, Davis Bartans also contributed 22 points while Robin Lopez celebrated with 19 of his own under the baskets.
