The Washington Wizards officially clinched the worst record in the NBA after suffering a 140-117 defeat to the Miami Heat on Friday night. With a dismal record of 17-64, the Wizards have lost nine consecutive games and 25 of their last 26. This season marks a historic low for the franchise, as they became the first team in NBA history to lose 64 games in three straight seasons. The previous record was held by the Vancouver Grizzlies and the Philadelphia 76ers, who each lost at least 63 games in their early years. In the game, Miami's Simone Fontecchio and Pelle Larsson each scored 24 points, while Bam Adebayo contributed 20 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists. Despite missing their top scorers, Norman Powell and Tyler Herro, due to injuries, the Heat maintained control of the game, leading by as much as 20 points at halftime. The Wizards will conclude their season against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.
