Kuzma, Wizards beat Knicks in Beal's return

NEW YORK — Bradley Beal made his first shot to give Washington a lead it never gave up.

With their leading scorer back, the Wizards finally got their starting lineup together again and couldn't have asked for a better reunion.

"We get to see what we're like as a whole," Beal said, "and if we continue to compete like that we'll be pretty good."

Kyle Kuzma scored 27 points, Beal had 18 in his return from a five-game absence and the Wizards never trailed in a 116-105 victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday night.
