Wizards End 16-Game Losing Streak with Narrow Win Over Timberwolves

Kyle Kuzma's season-high 31 points lead Washington to a 105-103 victory over a short-handed Minnesota team.

The Washington Wizards snapped a 16-game losing streak, avoiding a franchise-record 17th consecutive loss, with a 105-103 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Kyle Kuzma led the Wizards with a season-high 31 points, including a dominant second quarter performance that helped Washington maintain a narrow lead.
The Timberwolves, missing key players Anthony Edwards (illness) and Julius Randle (groin), saw their five-game winning streak come to an end.
Minnesota's Nickeil Alexander-Walker missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer in the final seconds after the Timberwolves forced a late turnover.
The win marked Washington's first road victory in 22 games, breaking a road losing streak that was among the longest in NBA history.
