Bradley Beal scores 34 points, Wizards beat Suns 109-99

PHOENIX Bradley Beal was asked if there is a certain feel to a high-scoring night, moments after the Washington Wizards guard's second offensive outburst in two games.

“I don't come into a game thinking that I'm going to score 50 or 40,” Beal said after scoring 34 points in the Wizards' 109-99 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. “I play within the flow of the game. Whatever the number is, that's what the number is.”

Beal made 13 of 22 shots two nights after scoring 51 points in a victory at Portland. He had 22 points in the first half, and his 85 points in two games are the most by a Wizards player over a two-game span since Gilbert Arenas had 85 in games Dec. 22 and 26, 2006.

LAKERS 107, 76ers 104

Brandon Ingram made the winning 3-pointer with 0.8 seconds left and finished with 21 points in the Los Angeles Lakers' 107-104 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night.

Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson each added 16 points to help the Lakers snap a five-game skid.

Joel Embiid scored 33 points, and Ben Simmons had a triple-double with 12 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists for Philadelphia.

The 76ers overcame a 16-point second-half deficit to tie it on Embiid's two free throws with 39.8 seconds remaining. Lonzo Ball missed a 3 on Los Angeles' ensuing possession, and Embiid then missed a chance to give Philadelphia the lead.
