Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook scored 54 points together

Washington Wizards’ magical newly formed duo of Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook has been constantly performing ever since their first appearance in the pre-season game. After a solid first regular season game, Westbrook and Beal combine to score 54 points against Orlando Magic. But still ended up losing by 10 points. With Thomas Bryant playing the role of the third scorer yet again, registering 19 against his name. 

Whereas talking about the winners of this contest, Orlando Magic, young Markelle FultzNikola Vucevic and bench player Terrence Ross made the difference offensively. Ross in particular was excellent having scored 25 points of the bench. Whereas Vucevic had a resounding 17 rebounds against his name. 

Orlando Magic beat Washington Wizards 130-120 

With John Wall departing, one thing can be said for sure, Washington Wizards are Bradley Beal’s team now. Even Westbrook seems to be finding his grove with the Wizards as he registered 12 assists to his name. Westbrook is also making himself handy in getting the ball on the offensive and defensive rebounds, getting 15.

Whereas Magic’s Aaron Gordon also had a decent match, scoring 15, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Whereas last match hero, Evan Fournier contributed 13 points for his team. With the competition getting even tougher in the Eastern Conference, Magic’s marquee players would have to step even more on both ends of the court. But these victories will surely keep on building their morale. 

As far as the, Wizards are concerned, their all 3 scoring options are delivering. But the rest of the roster aren’t. So, they would need to pull their socks up before it gets late. Given that these are just early days in the competition, Wizards have ample time to make the relevant changes.
