Beal, Bertans and centers are enough for Wizards to win 5th in a row

To honor the five-game streak, let’s focus attention on the five Wizards players who rated above average last night:
Bradley Beal — Started at SF because Rui Hachimura was out with a knee injury and because Scott Brooks couldn’t bring himself to start Isaac Bonga or Anthony Gill. Beal scored 30 on 21 field goal attempts, hit 3-4 from three-point range, and came up with 3 steals and a block without exerting himself much on defense.
