In the middle of a tough three-game road trip, the Wizards were ready to roll with the punches Sunday from a Thunder team that had won four of their last five. But after battling back from an early deficit, Bradley Beal and co. ended up throwing haymakers. With Beal’s 25 points leading the way, the Wizards rolled to a blowout 116-98 victory to get their first-ever win in Oklahoma City. The win was Washington’s first on the road in over a month and marked just the fifth home loss for the Thunder on the year.
The Wizards put together perhaps their most impressive performance of the season Sunday, and it all started with tremendous energy on the defensive end.
