Bradley Beal stepped back to create separation and as his shot clanked off the rim, the Wizards star jumped in frustration. After a scorching first half — a scorching month, really — Beal had finally gone cold.
With Beal’s shot off the mark, the Wizards couldn’t generate enough offense Sunday and fell 100-89 to the Miami Heat. Beal saw his streak of 21 consecutive games with at least 25 points snapped.
After halftime, Beal scored just three points on 1-of-14 shooting. In the fourth, with the game in the balance, the 26-year-old missed all nine of his shots.
