Bradley Beal First Player Since Kobe With Back-to-Back 50-Point Games

Hours after the memorial service which paid tribute to Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, Wizards guard Bradley Beal honored the late-Lakers star with another stellar on-court performance.

Beal became the first player since Bryant in March of 2007 to record 50 points in two-consecutive contests. Beal scored a career-high 55 on Monday night in his team's 137-134 loss to the Bucks. Over the weekend, he scored 53 points in a loss to the Chicago Bulls.

In doing so, Beal also became the first Wizards player in franchise history to score 50 points in consecutive games.
