TORONTO (CP) – Bradley Beal poured in 28 points to lift the Wizards to a 117-106 victory over Toronto on Tuesday, sending the Wizards home with a 2-0 playoff series lead over the struggling Raptors.
John Wall added 26 points and 17 assists.
Lou Williams and DeMar DeRozan led Toronto with 20 points apiece, Williams' coming a day after he earned the NBA's Sixth Man Award. Jonas Valanciunas had 15 points and 10 rebounds and Patrick Patterson finished with 15.
But the Raptors were hamstrung by another horrible night from all-star point guard Kyle Lowry, who finished with just six points and four assists, and sat large chunks of the game in foul trouble.
