Isaiah Thomas was out for revenge. A few days ago, the former Celtic said he’d be aiming for 50 points against his former squad. But it was Bradley Beal, not Thomas who nearly made it happen.
Beal turned his best performance of the season with 44 points, five rebounds and six assists, but it would be all for naught as Washington lost to Boston 140-133 on Wednesday night.
Rui Hachimura, who was sidelined for much of the game with foul trouble, scored 21 points on 9-12 shooting and Isaiah Thomas added 18 points in his return, but Washington’s inability to get stops would doom them.
