Ravaged by injuries and Covid, Wes Unseld Jr. used just eight players — really just a seven-man rotation — and the Wizards won a shootout with the Charlotte Hornets, 124-121.
Kyle Kuzma was terrific again — 36 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, as well as 6-11 from three-point range. The only mar on his stat line was 5 turnovers. As has been his norm this season, he nailed several threes late.
In his second game as the team’s point guard, Bradley Beal was very good — 35 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists. He had 4 turnovers, but an acceptable 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.
