Washington Wizards: Bradley Beal’s top 5 games from record-setting scoring streak
By Ethan Smith
4. February 28 @ Utah Jazz
This season, Bradley Beal has been scoring just a hair better on the road than he is at Capital One Arena, averaging 30.5 points per game while traveling and 30.4 when he stays home.
When the Wizards traveled to Utah to start their road trip, Beal’s full offensive arsenal was on display, not just his scoring skills.
Although Beal wasn’t quite as efficient in this one as he has been in some of the other games on this list, he still shot above average (for him) from both the field and from beyond the arc. And this time, unlike many of the other brilliant Beal losses, the stats weren’t empty ones.

Aside from what is becoming a routine 42-point performance, Beal added ten assists to just two turnovers. It’s the only time during Beal’s current streak that he recorded a double-double. Plus, he swiped two steals.
Although the Wizards wound up on the losing end of this effort, it was a much more impressive performance than the one the Wizards put on during their 127-116 loss to Utah earlier this season, which featured a full-on second-half collapse.
Final Score: Jazz 129- Wizards 119
Beal’s final line: 42 PTS, 5 REB, 10 AST, 2 STLS, 2 TOV; 17/33 FG, 6/15 3PT, 2/4 FT
