The best teams beat you in simple ways: During the first quarter of tonight’s game, one of David Wesley‘s Keys to the Game on the Fox Sports New Orleans Broadcast was “contain Wall and Beal”. When a team’s success is so closely related to the successes of two gifted players like those in Washington’s starting backcourt, you step onto the court with a built-in advantage. The New Orleans Pelicans were blown away by that advantage in the first half.
The two combined for 24 points, Wall dished 9 assists, and Beal was a +24 in the first half alone.
