The Washington Wizards snapped their 10-game losing streak against the Phoenix Suns. The Wizards defeated the Suns 113-110. This was the Wizard’s first win since they defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 142-128 on November 28th. Wizards Head Coach Wes Unseld Jr. spoke on the Wizard’s win and their ending their 10-game losing streak.
“That’s a huge step for us,” Unseld said. “It’s something that we can continue to build on. You give yourself a chance. We minimized some mistakes that jumped us and bit us in the last few games. These guys have continued to play hard and (the streak) didn’t affect their competitive spirit. Sometimes you make your luck. Some of those hustle plays, 50-50 balls, the charge that Taj took, those are the plays that get you out of those ruts. I’m happy for those guys, I know they’re relieved and excited at the same time.”
Kyle Kuzma led the way for the Wizards. Kuzma scored 29 points on 10-for-19 shooting. Kuzma hit 5-for-10 from behind the three-point line. Kuzma also grabbed six rebounds and dished out six assists.
