This month, they have shown resilience, rebounding better and playing with increased physicality, suggesting a shift in momentum.

As the team heads into the All-Star break, changes loom on the horizon. The Wizards have traded away several veterans, including Jonas Valanciunas and Kyle Kuzma, to acquire future assets alongside former All-Stars Marcus Smart and Khris Middleton. New recruits A.J. Johnson and Colby Jones, both promising young talents, could play pivotal roles in the team's rebuilding efforts. Rookies Alex Sarr and Bub Carrington are also making strides, showcasing their potential amidst the team's development focus, alongside second-year star Bilal Coulibaly. The Wizards' approach to nurturing young talent is drawing optimism as they prepare to return refreshed.

Brooklyn's Keon Johnson led his team with 25 points, while Cam Johnson added 17.
