Bradley Beal scored a career-high 55 points, his second straight game with 50-plus points, as the Wizards (20-36) fell 137-134 in overtime to the league-leading Bucks (49-8). Beal became the first player in franchise history to record consecutive 50-point games and the first player in the league to do it on back-to-back nights since Kobe Bryant in 2007. Beal finished the night 19-33 (.575) from the field, 8-13 (.615) from 3-point range and 9-10 (.900) from the free throw line.
With the Wizards down 10 with 7:40 to go, Beal hit a pull-up 16-footer to cut the deficit to single digits.
