Kuzma turned and flashed his middle finger at a fan after sinking a corner 3-pointer with 9:34 remaining in the fourth quarter of Washington's 119-116 overtime win against the Pistons.

He later waved goodbye (with all five fingers) to the crowd at Little Caesars Arena after making the game-winning 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds remaining. He finished with 26 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

Kuzma, 26, is averaging 13.4 points and 8.3 rebounds in 26 games (all starts) in his first season with the Wizards.

He played his first four seasons with the Lakers before being acquired by Washington in the offseason trade that sent Russell Westbrook to Los Angeles.
