Beal, ‘D’ lead Wizards over Hawks

Bradley Beal scored 19 points, and the Wizards forced the Hawks into a season-worst 24 turnovers in a 113-94 victory on Saturday night in Washington.

Markieff Morris scored 18 points in his best game offensive game since returning from sports hernia surgery earlier this month, and Kelly Oubre added 18 off the bench in Washington’s second straight win.

The Wizards have held visiting opponents under 100 points in consecutive home games after failing to keep any team under 110 in their first five at Capital One Arena.

Taurean Prince scored 19 points and Marco Belinelli had 15 for Atlanta, which failed to keep it close despite turning Washington’s season-high 23 turnovers into 37 points.

Washington coach Scott Brooks rested his starters the entire fourth quarter against a rebuilding Hawks team that bears little resemblance to the one that lost a first-round playoff series to the Wizards last season.

Celtics PG has a broken bone in his face and is doubtful for today’s game against the Raptors. The team called the fracture minor.
