The only real surprise in the Washington Wizards’ 112-98 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks was Washington fighting back from a 17-point deficit to take a brief lead in the fourth quarter. It was all Bucks from there, and Milwaukee dealt the Wizards’ their sixth straight loss.
For Washington, Kyle Kuzma was excellent again. He was 9-19 from the floor (with 3 threes), and he attacked Milwaukee’s packed-in defense repeatedly and successfully.
Other positives: Rui Hachimura made 3-5 from the floor, including a three. Corey Kispert wasn’t bad.
With Bradley Beal out, Wes Unseld Jr.
