Davis Bertans heats up from long range to lead Wizards to third straight win

The Wizards rode record shooting from Davis Bertans to a third straight victory with last night’s 130-128 victory over the Denver Nuggets.

Bertans, who arrived to training camp out of shape and struggled with his shot, hit 9-of-11 from three-point range en route to 35 points on 11 field goal attempts. Bertans became the 44th player in NBA history to score 30 or more points on 11 or fewer field goal attempts. Charles Barkley is the all-time leader with four of these games. Bill Cartwright, Dwight Howard, and Keith Van Horn have two each.
