Bradley Beal had a career-high 34 points in a one-point loss to the Thunder in Oklahoma City.
Kevin Durant stole the show with a three pointer at the end of regulation to send it to overtime, according to Bleacherreport.com. The Wizards blew a late 10-point lead to let the Thunder come back and win it by one.
Washington Post reports that John Wall had a chance to win it for the Wizards, down 106-105 at the end of overtime. As the clock ran out, Wall squeezed between two defenders and put up an air ball. Wall thought he was fouled, arguing to the ref that he was hit on his right arm.
“I’ll take that shot we got — John going to the basket — every time. We didn’t convert it,” Coach Randy Wittman said. “This one hurt, but I’m proud of them. They busted their tails and gave themselves a chance.”
Thw Wizards missed 13 free throws in the game, and Nene was ejected after a confrontation with Russell Westbrook. Nene already had a technical foul in the game before he was ejected.
"When you have a technical already, you have to be smart,” Wittman said.
Kevin Durant had 33 points and 13 rebounds in the contest, to fuel OKC's comeback.
