They even just had a couple winning streaks! Sure, they\u2019re just two-win streaks, but, after sporting the worst record in the league just a few weeks ago, that\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Wizards have not won three in a row since February 5, 2025. In that little winning streak they beat both the Brooklyn Nets and Minnesota Timberwolves. They just beat the Nets\u2026 so, maybe history repeats itself?
