The Wizards’ season has largely been frustrating to everyone involved with the team, but on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks, Bradley Beal carried a swagger like his team’s record was irrelevant.
The Wizards star stared down center Salah Mejri after a vicious dunk. He waved off Mavericks rookie Luka Doncic’s complaints following a blocked shot. Time and time again, Beal unleashed his signature step back that’s become a staple of his game.
Behind his 30 points, Beal helped lift the Wizards in a 132-123 win. Washington (27-37) has now won three of its last four.
