The Washington Wizards finally ended their franchise-record-tying 16-game losing skid, pulling off a 105-103 upset victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Kyle Kuzma led the way for Washington with 31 points, spearheading an effort that saw four other Wizards score in double figures.

 


 

The victory marked just the seventh win of the season for Washington (7-41), but it was a much-needed morale boost for the struggling squad.

Despite Jaden McDaniels’ 23-point, 12-rebound double-double for Minnesota, the Timberwolves couldn’t hold off the determined Wizards.

The loss dropped Minnesota to 27-22, as they failed to capitalize on a chance to strengthen their playoff positioning in the competitive Western Conference.
