Washington Wizards fans have been clamoring for somebody—anybody—to give Bradley Beal some scoring support. On Sunday, more than enough of the team answered that call.
In a 135-121 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, six Wizards players other than Beal scored in double figures, including every starter. Bobby Portis led the way with 26 points and 12 rebounds.
But the story of the game was the momentum that the reserve unit gave the team in the second half. Jabari Parker scored 22 points off the bench. He had 11 points in the third quarter, which coincided with the Wizards outscoring the Timberwolves by 12 points and retaking the lead.
