For his first assist of the game, Bradley Beal picked off a cross-court pass and threaded the needle to find Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for an uncontested layup. After missing the last two games on the bereavement list, Beal couldn’t do it all in a 97–87 loss.
For his second assist of the night, Beal spun between two defenders and handed the ball off to Daniel Gafford (20 points, nine rebounds) under the hoop.
Assist number three set up a contested deep ball for Kyle Kuzma. Beal then found Gafford, who put up 10 points in the first, for helper number four.
