The Wizards (21-37) were defeated 129-119 by the Jazz (37-22) Friday night despite another standout performance from Bradley Beal. In the first outing of a four-game road trip, Beal totaled 42 points – his tenth 40-point game this season – to go along with 10 assists and five rebounds.
The game was the third of Beal’s career with at least 40 points, 10 assists and five rebounds. He is the only player in franchise history with multiple 40-10-5 games. Beal scored his 25th point of the night on a put-back layup less than a minute into the second half, giving him at least 25 points for the 17th consecutive game, tying Walt Bellamy for the longest such streak in franchise history – a record that has stood since 1962.
