Bilal Coulibaly added 21 points while Bub Carrington had 16 points and five assists.
Playing their 24th consecutive game without Stephen Curry, the Warriors led the majority of the game until the Wizards made a late surge in the fourth quarter.
Washington led 111-106 with 6 1/2 minutes remaining, but the Wizards defense faltered after that.
Santos, who scored a career-high 31 points in the Warriors win over Brooklyn on Wednesday, made several big plays down the stretch.
After the Wizards got within 129-126 on Riley’s third 3-pointer of the night with 13.6 seconds left, Santos made two foul shots. Podziemski then stole the ensuing inbounds pass to secure the win.
The Warriors got a lift from Porzingis early. The 7-foot-2 center made a pair of 3-pointers and grabbed two rebounds as part of a big run midway through the first quarter to help Golden State to a 38-25 lead.
