The two-time All-Star followed that outing with 23 points, seven assists and six rebounds in the Wizards’ 100-90 win over the Magic at Capital One Arena on March 13. Beal tallied 40 points on 15-of-29 from the field (7-of-12 from three-point range) in Washington’s 116-110 loss to the Hornets on March 15. On the next night against Memphis, Beal had his second consecutive 40-point outing to go along with seven assists and five rebounds in the Wizards’ 135-128 victory over the Grizzlies.
