Washington's losing streak - the longest in the entire NBA - was extended tonight (between Wednesday and Thursday) to eight in number, after the Wizards also lost to Denver - this time 141:128 away.

Danny Avdia had a good game with 9 points (4 of 7 from the field, 1 of 2 of 3), 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, but it wasn't enough for his team, which fell to an 18:11 balance and continues to move away from the place 10th in the East, leading to the play-in.

Again without Bradley Beal, the Wizards played a weak defense that conceded 38 points in the first quarter and 39 in the last quarter.

The guest still held out for a few episodes, but finally remained unanswered against the great Nikola Jokic, who finished with a rare statistical streak of 43 points (17 of 20 from the field, 9 of 10 from the line), 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and also 8 turnovers .

Mission Impossible.

Avdia, who got 29 minutes and got into foul trouble (he finished the game with five), functioned for certain minutes as a center in Wes Anseld Jr.'s low lineup, and even had to guard Jokic.

Needless to say, it's good that it doesn't end.

The Wizards were led by Kyle Kuzma (24 points), Will Barton (22) and Monte Morris (20) who returned to the floor.

The Nuggets, who went 10:17, also got 22 points from Aaron Gordon.
