A 27-2 Cleveland run that bridged the second and third quarters was a big reason why Washington dropped its third game at home.

The Wizards equal a season high with 34 assists and outscore Minnesota 68-44 in the paint.

The Wizards lost in San Antonio for the 22nd straight time Monday night.

A hot start from Bradley Beal and late help from Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope gave the Wizards a 120-114 victory.

Washington fell behind early and couldn't make it a game late on the day before Thanksgiving in New Orleans.

Toreno Winn Jr. said he and Kyle Kuzma, who love to push the boundaries of fashion, “made a real-life meme without Photoshop.”

Washington got within two points in the final minute but couldn't complete the comeback at Capital One Arena.

The Wizards assigned Rui Hachimura, who has yet to play this season, and Davis Bertans, who is recovering from an ankle sprain, to the Capital City Go-Go so they could practice Monday.

An identifiable, sustainable culture is growing in Washington, and the Wizards are reaping the benefits.

The Wizards, who lost to the Heat 48 hours earlier in Miami, were going through the motions early in the second half. Then Montrezl Harrell checked in.

Without their starting center and point guard, Washington had a difficult time getting its offense in gear and fell at Eastern Conference power Miami.

After a six-game winning streak, the Wizards struggled against the Hornets' zone and stumbled on the road.

Mystics head coach and general manager Mike Thibault, whose contract expired this summer, also signed a multiyear deal.

The 20-year-old forward is sticking in the rotation thanks to surprisingly good defense.

Washington led by 19 points in the third quarter. It didn't matter, even without Bradley Beal.
