Wizards Break Losing Streak with Win Over Timberwolves

The Washington Wizards broke their 16-game losing streak with a narrow 105-103 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kyle Kuzma led the Wizards with a season-high 31 points, while Jordan Poole added 19 points, helping the team to their seventh win of the season. Despite a late turnover by Kuzma, a missed three-pointer by Minnesota’s Nickeil Alexander-Walker allowed Washington to secure the win. Jayden McDaniels performed notably for the Timberwolves with 23 points and 12 rebounds, as the team played without key players Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle due to injuries. This win marked a significant morale boost for the Wizards, who have struggled this season with poor shooting and defensive performances. The Timberwolves’ five-game winning streak ended with this loss.
