The Nets were down 10-2 and 21-9 early to the lowly Wizards and faced an uphill climb from the jump.
Brooklyn fought all the way back and grabbed a 67-66 lead after a Cam Johnson 3-pointer early in the third quarter but were outscored 53 to 35 the rest of the way.
Keon Johnson paced the Nets and led all scorers with 25, while D'Angelo Russell had a quiet night with just five points in 16 minutes, just one night after hitting the game winner. Nic Claxton had just five points and three rebounds in 23 minutes.
Washington shot a scorching 54.3 percent from the field and 46.5 percent from 3-point range. The Wizards led by as many as 25 with the Nets crashing back down to earth after a heroic late game comeback win on Tuesday night versus Houston.
Brooklyn hosts the new-look Miami Heat on Friday night.
