Jordan Poole lifted the Washington Wizards out of the NBA cellar in dramatic fashion. Poole’s 3-pointer with 8.1 seconds remaining put Washington ahead, and the Wizards went on to beat the Charlotte Hornets 113-110 on Thursday night. The victory — and a loss by New Orleans — means Washington no longer has the league’s worst record.

Despite a 16-game losing streak earlier this season, the Wizards are ahead of the Pelicans , and they aren’t too far behind Toronto and Charlotte . Since its lengthy skid, Washington has gone 3-5, including two wins over the Hornets a week apart. “I’ve always felt like I’ve been the man for the moment, and I make big shots all the time,” said Poole, who scored 25 points. “Credit to the coaching staff for putting the ball in my hands, and shout-out to my teammates for finding me as well.”
