Not much has gone right for the 20-36 Washington Wizards this season, but Bradley Beal has at least provided a silver lining with his notable performances.

He dazzled again Monday with 55 points on 19-of-33 shooting from the field and 8-of-13 shooting from deep during a 137-134 overtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Still, his team didn't have enough to outlast 40 points from Khris Middleton and a more balanced effort from the Bucks.

Beal made history in the process, becoming the first player in franchise history with back-to-back 50-point games and just the 11th player in league history to accomplish the feat:

He scored 53 points in Sunday's 126-117 loss to the Chicago Bulls.
