The Washington Wizards earned a 117-113 overtime victory Tuesday over the Miami Heat, but missed a chance to end the game in regulation.
As the shot clock ticked down, Bradley Beal drove in for a step-back jumper that clanged off the front of the rim Beal had a good look, but the shot wouldn’t fall.
It’s been that type of year for Beal.
The Wizards guard has taken the NBA’s second-most shot attempts when his team is either tied or trailing by a span of three points in the final 10 seconds of games. That means when games are close, the Wizards look for Beal to bail them out.
