The Washington Wizards keep playing great at the start of the 2021/22 NBA season. The capital team recorded their fifth win of the campaign, beating the Boston Celtics, 115-112 at Capital One Arena.
They had to fight hard and needed overtime to settle the dispute. Bradley Beal with 36 points, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Montrezl Harrell (20 points each), led the Wizards to the win, sitting at 5-1 at the top of the Eastern Conference.
Kyle Kuzma added 17 points, but he was the victim of Jaylen Brown’s eurostep. The young Celtic attacked the rim and went straight at Kuzma, hitting him with the euro, totally losing the former Los Angeles Lakers.
Kuz just spun and cleared the way for Jaylen, who got the buckets very easily. This play drew the attention of several people, including Rob Perez, who shared a video of the sequence.

Even the victim reacted to that, admitting it was a good move and Brown had him lost.
“Yeah he F***** me up lol,” the 25-year-old forward wrote on Twitter.

Still, the Wizards had the last laugh on this matter. They got a big win against a direct rival, remaining as one of the top teams in the East. Kyle has been doing well recently, earning a lot of praise for his game.
Indeed, he’s not playing under the same pressure he was in Los Angeles, but it’s good to see him thriving and showing what he can do with the Wizards. The team is looking better and better every day and that should excite their fans.
Time will tell if they’re able to keep this pace, but right now, they are one of the top teams in the entire NBA.
