Beal, Wizards rip Bucks

Bradley Beal scored 32 points, Tomas Satoransky had his first career tripledouble and the Washington Wizards beat the Milwaukee Bucks 113-106 on Friday night.

With Milwaukee star Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined by hip and quad injuries, Washington came out aggressively and never trailed after the opening two minutes. The Wizards finished with 18 threepointers, matching the franchise record.

Satoransky, starting at point guard in place of the injured John Wall, had 18 points, a career-high 12 rebounds and 10 assists, the last coming on an alley-oop to Beal with 1:43 remaining.

Trevor Ariza scored 20 points, including 18 in the second half, and made six three-pointers. Jeff Green went 4 for 7 from beyond the arc on his way to 20 points, helping Washington shoot 54.5 percent (18 of 33) from three-point range. It was the Wizards’ first game this season making more than 50 percent of their threes.

Khris Middleton scored 25 points for the Bucks, who had won 11 of 13. Milwaukee tied it twice in the third quarter, during which the teams combined to make 13 of 25 three-pointers.

Hawks 123, 76ers 121: John Collins hit a fadeaway jumper with 25 seconds left and Atlanta hung on when Philadelphia flopped on its final plays to lead the Hawks over the host 76ers.

Jimmy Butler was fouled on a drive and had a chance to tie the game with 2.4 seconds left. Butler, an 86 percent free-throw shooter, clanged both shots to waste the chance at the tie. But Wilson Chandler slipped under the basket on the second miss and had a gimmie tip-in at the horn but failed to convert, leaving the Sixers stunned as they trudged off the court.

Collins scored 25 points and Kevin Huerter hit five threes and led the Hawks with 29 points.

Butler led the Sixers with 30 points, and Ben Simmons had 23 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds.

The 76ers struggled with All-Star center Joel Embiid out with a sore ankle suffered in a loss to Washington on Wednesday night.
