Is villain Kuz becoming a thing??
Seems like it. Kyle Kuzma has been more vocal on Twitter and seems to be making a heel turn.
He was adding to that after the Wizards game last night. He hit the game-winner against the Pistons then waived by but before that, earlier in the 4th, he appeared to flip a fan off.
Kyle Kuzma hit a 3 with 0.6 seconds left in overtime and the Washington Wizards handed the Detroit Pistons their 10th straight loss, 119-116 Wednesday night.
Kuzma scored 26 points and Bradley Beal added 25 for the Wizards, who blew a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter.
“This is a good win for us,” Beal said. “It wasn’t pretty, but we did what we needed to do to win the game. That’s always the goal.”
Jeremi Grant scored 28 points for the Pistons, who haven’t won since beating the Indiana Pacers 97-89 on Nov. 17. The 10-game skid matches Detroit’s longest since a 13-game slide from Nov. 15-Dec. 9, 2014. They also lost 10 straight from Feb. 24-March 14, 2015.
Cunningham’s fourth layup of overtime made it 116-116 with 23 seconds left, but Kuzma hit the winner.
“I love Cade, but he makes me feel old,” Beal said. “I’ve been a fan of his since high school — I probably knew he was going to be a pro before he did. He’s going to be a problem for this league for a long time.”
Caldwell-Pope added 13 points for the Wizards, who outscored Detroit 52-38 in the paint and finished with a 13-7 edge on the offensive glass.
Daniel Gafford had seven points, nine rebounds and six blocks.
“They kicked our butts in the paint,” Casey said. “They broke our backs with the extra possessions and the points at the rim.”
In the same spot, he hit his game-winner, he hit a 3 to increase the Wizards lead, then looked at the fan, and it looked like he flipped the fan off.
Wonder if the fan said something.
