WASHINGTON (AP) — Deni Avdija scored 22 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, Kyle Kuzma made several important baskets down the stretch and the Washington Wizards beat the Toronto Raptors 112-109 on Saturday, losing for the 10th straight game.
With just their third two-game winning streak of the season, the Wizards avoided falling below Detroit with the NBA’s worst record.
The Raptors haven’t won since March 3.
Toronto played without its three leading scorers and only had eight non-injured players.
Kuzma finished with 16 points, Jordan Poole scored 14 of his 18 in the fourth quarter and sparked Washington’s comeback. Richaun Holmes had 14 of the Wizards’ 55 rebounds compared to Toronto’s 42, along with 15 points.
Gary Trent Jr. led the Raptors with 31 points, rookie Gradey Dick scored 17 and Kelly Olynyk had 14 points and 10 assists.
Marvin Bagley III returned to the Wizards lineup after missing the last nine games and scored 10 points off the bench.
