MINNEAPOLIS — The Timberwolves had led Washington for over 46 minutes on Thursday night, and even led at one point early by 20. But all night, the Wizards chipped and chipped away before they finally caught them in a 114-106 Wizards victory.
Washington took its first lead of the game, 107-106, on a Kyle Kuzma 3-pointer with 1 minute, 14 seconds remaining. The Wolves followed that up with a difficult fadeaway from Anthony Edwards that missed.
Bradley Beal, who torched the Wolves down the stretch for 35 points (17 in the fourth), then hit a 3 for a four-point Wizards lead. That led to a few boo birds as fans made their way to the exits.
