Wizards End 16-Game Losing Streak, Defeat Timberwolves 105-103

The Washington Wizards ended a 16-game losing streak by narrowly defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves 105-103 on February 2, 2025. Kyle Kuzma led the Wizards with a season-high 31 points, including crucial late-game shots that secured the win despite a strong challenge from a depleted Timberwolves roster missing key players. This victory marked Washington's second road win of the season and halted a 21-game road winless streak, which tied for the longest in the NBA since the 2010-11 season. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves, who had a five-game winning streak, struggled without All-Star Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle, ultimately unable to clinch a comeback in the final moments. The Wizards' collective effort included significant contributions from Jordan Poole, Bilal Coulibaly, and Jonas Valanciunas, who all scored in double digits. This win is a crucial morale booster for the Wizards as they look to turn their season around.
