Bradley Beal and Markieff Morris each hit a pair of free throws in the closing seconds to hold off a late charge as the Wizards beat the Grizzlies 102-100 on Friday night.
Washington built up a 17 point lead with less than a minute left in the third quarter, fueled by strong outings from John Wall and Bradley Beal. However, a sloppy stretch from the bench to start the fourth quarter, coupled with disappointing late-game execution from Washington’s starters, allowed Memphis to make it a one-possession game in the final minute.
