The sliding of Washington Washington Wizards has been interrupted, gracked minnesota Timberwolves in digital disadvantage.
The Wizards, owners of easily the worst NBA record, achieved a sequence of 16 consecutive defeats on Saturday with a 105-103 victory against a Minnesota team that lacked All-Star Anthony Edwards as well as Julius Randle. The sequence had equaled a franchise record.
It was Washington’s first victory since January 1st.
The Timberwolves almost avoided ignominy when the Wizards returned it to an inbound and Nickeil Alexander-Walker game pulled a 3-point potential. The shot has missed over time, giving the Wizards victory.
Kyle Kuzma, him of “Don’t be this team“Fame, opened the way with 31 points and eight rebounds, with the five starters marking two -digit. Jaden McDaniels led Minnesota by scoring with 23 points.
Even with the interrupted sequence, little has changed for the Wizards now that their record is only 7-41. The record for the longest sequence of the NBA defeats is 28, established by the 76ers of Philadelphia in 2015 and equaled by the Strait Pistons last year.
Wizards entered the last classified to death in an offensive note on Saturday. They also died last in defensive note. Their top scorer: Jordan Poole, whose contract remains something of an albatross. The overall choice n ° 2, Alex Sarr, draws 39.7% despite a great man. Even with veterans reinforcements this season like Malcolm Brogdon and Jonas Valančiūnas, the team seems to be absolutely to a reconstruction cycle.
Wizards are on the right track to be a large seller on the deadline for trade later this month, so it could get worse before improving.
