Unseld gave Kyle Kuzma a lot of props tonight for his defense on KAT (despite the 34 points). Knew Towns was going to get going, gave Kuzma an unglamorous job and appreciated his putting his head down and doing it. – 10:04 PM

Awesome Wizards win against a good Timberwolves team playing great ball of late. That’s how they have to play. Ran with a purpose in transition, love to see that.
Hope Towns is OK. Wiz had no answer for him. Despite the loss, Minnesota is starting to figure stuff out. – 9:52 PM
