The Washington Wizards faced the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, eager to end a brutal 13-game losing streak. Unfortunately for the Wizards, the Bucks emerged victorious in a 124-114 thriller, with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard scoring a combined 67 points. The loss capped a historic low for the Wizards, who ended November with a 0-14 record.
This marks the first time in franchise history that the Wizards failed to secure a single win in November. Their previous worst record for the month was a 1-12 showing during the 2012-13 season. Other tough Novembers included 2-13 in 2008-09 and 2-11 in 2023-24, but none compare to this year’s winless streak.
The Wizards have officially completed “No-Win November”

The Wizards’ downward spiral began on November 2 with a 118-98 loss to the Miami Heat and continued without any signs of recovery. Moreover, none of their losses were close. The Wizards’ winless November led the NBA fans to troll the team mercilessly for their dismal performance on social media.
no win November is crazy 😭

Imagine paying NBA prices to watch your team go winless for an entire month – at this point Wizards fans deserve season tickets to Ted Lasso just to remember what winning feels like.

Meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo stole the spotlight during Saturday’s game with an incredible triple-double performance, tallying 42 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists. This feat allowed Giannis to tie three Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famers for specific triple-double milestones. Jordan Poole was the lead scorer for the Wizards with 31 points.
Washington Wizards Coach Keefe Stays Optimistic Despite Losing Streak
Before the Washington Wizards faced the Milwaukee Bucks, head coach Brian Keefe addressed the team’s ongoing struggles during a press conference. The Wizards were coming off a 13-game losing streak and hoping to turn things around, but Keefe remained steadfast in his belief in the team’s potential.
“I will differ from most people. I believe in the character of our guys first and foremost. When you’re in tough things I think you can really grow, and I think that’s what I’ve been impressed that these guys are continuing to grow even when they’re faced with adversity, and we’re not going to back down from that. We’re going to double down on what we believe in and habits and teaching and coaching,” Keefe said.
The Wizards’ ongoing struggles have sparked concern among fans. With no immediate solutions in sight, the team’s focus must shift to December as they search for a way to end their nightmarish losing streak and restore some competitive pride.
