Kyle Kuzma Leads Comeback Against the Rockets
HOUSTON-The Washington Wizards hit the road to take on the Houston Rockets for the second game of their five-game road trip. This game was the first game of the season series between Houston and Washington. The Wizards defeat the Mavericks 127-126 in their last game and came into this game on a three-game winning streak.
Despite missing Kristaps Porzingis, Washington has been able to stay afloat the last couple of games especially with Bradley Beal back in the lineup. Washington had a chance to take advantage of a young and inexperienced Houston Rockets team, but that would not be the case early on.
The Rockets had control of the game until 8:19 left in the 4th quarter when Kyle Kuzma knocked down a three-pointer that would put Washington up for good. The Wizards completed the comeback winning 108-103 to win their 4th straight game.
For the Wizards, Kyle Kuzma had a game-high 33 points with nine rebounds. Bradley Beal scored 17 points while newly acquired guard Kendrick Nunn scored 12 points in his debut.
