. . Washington Wizards. 9. team. 142.

The Wizard’s Big Three had a good start to the week, with Marcin Gortat, John Wall and Bradley Beal combining for 73 points in the Wizards 121-103 home victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday. There was a ton of offense in the first half, with both the Knicks and the Wizards shooting over 50 percent before taking a break and cooling off at halftime. The Wizards didn’t cool off as much, and they got out to a lead in the third against a team on the second night of a back to back.

Beal and Wall combined for 59 points against the Grizzlies, and withstood a late rally to pick up a 102-100 win on the road. Beal was lucky to keep his head on his shoulders after a hard foul from Matthew Dellavedova, but the Wizards let the Bucks rally in the fourth quarter in a 110-103 loss on Saturday.
