WASHINGTON — Kyle Kuzma scored 26 points, Deni Avdija had 21 points, 13 rebounds and six assists, and the Washington Wizards beat the Brooklyn Nets 110-104 on Friday night.
Kuzma checked back into the game with Brooklyn leading 98-97 and scored nine of Washington's next 11, with fans at Capital One Arena come to a standing ovation as the Wizards dribbled the ball out on a rare home win.
"That's how I want to play," Kuzma said. "When you think about the top options on every team, that's how they play. I don't necessarily have the opportunity to do that.
