The Wizards scored 124 points on 49 percent shooting against the league’s second-best defense, but it wasn’t enough to overcome their own defensive issues as they lost to the Jazz 128-124 on Friday evening.
Bradley Beal turned in another stellar performance, despite the Wizards getting eliminated from the playoffs the night before. After getting held to 15 points when they hosted the Jazz last week, he went off for 34 points in 39 minutes. In the process, he became the fourth player in franchise history to score 2,000 points in a single season, joining Gilbert Arenas, Earl Monroe, and Walt Bellamy.
