“#Bradley Beal scores 60 but Wizards fall to 76ers<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

PHILADELPHIA \u2014 Bradley Beal sank his free throw in the final seconds to reach a milestone, a Washington record-tying 60 points.<\/p>\n

Dominant again, Joel Embiid had already made it a moot point.<\/p>\n

Embiid scored 38 points and the NBA-leading Philadelphia 76ers overcame Beal\u2019s first career 60-point game<\/a> in a 141-136 win over the Wizards on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

The Sixers are an NBA-best 7-1 in coach Doc Rivers\u2019 first season in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey pay me to take over the game, and they pay me to dominate,\u201d Embiid said.<\/p>\n

Beal scored 57 points through three quarters and seemed poised to not only smash the 60-point mark, but complete Washington\u2019s rally from 21 points down.<\/p>\n

Embiid snuffed that out in the fourth, scoring 11 points to just three for Beal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI put it on myself to close it out,\u201d Beal said. \u201cI\u2019ve got to be better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beal was stuffed on a layup and missed a 3-pointer inside the final minute, nearly coming up short of joining Golden State\u2019s Stephen Curry as 60-point scorers this season. Curry scored a career-high 62 points on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Beal, who once scored 53 and 55 points in consecutive games, sank a free throw with 4.4 seconds left to hit the mark. He went 20 of 25 from the floor, made 7 of 10 3-points and went 13 of 15 from the line to match former Wizard Gilbert Arenas for the franchise single-game mark.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no reason anybody should drop 60 on us,\u201d Embiid said.<\/p>\n

Beal was sensational from the start, going 11 of 16 (four 3-pointers) from the floor in the first half for 32 points and joined Michael Jordan (34 points in 2001) and Arenas (33 points in 2006 and 30 in 2007) as Wizards to score 30 in half over the last 20 years.<\/p>\n

He hit seven 3s and reached 57 points through three quarters, and that should have been enough to give the Wizards the lead. But Washington\u2019s defense was atrocious in the first half. They gave up 82 points and trailed by as many as 21 points, Beal outscoring the rest of the Wizards.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe can score a lot of points on any team on any given night, but he wants to lead us in victories,\u201d coach Scott Brooks said.<\/p>\n

Arenas, who turned 39 on Wednesday, scored 60 points on Dec. 17, 2006.<\/p>\n

Beal failed to win again on a night on which he topped 50 points.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll my career highs have been losses,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t give a damn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Embiid again carried the Sixers after a rare slow start and continued his torrid early season run. He missed all six shots in the first quarter and scored one point. He then scored 14 in the second and helped the Sixers roll to a 19-point lead.<\/p>\n

Embiid tossed in a fadeaway and made the free throw to give the Sixers a 131-127 lead. His second three-point play in 90 seconds made it 134-131. He then buried a 3 to seal Philadelphia\u2019s fifth straight win.<\/p>\n

Seth Curry hit six straight 3-pointers in the first half and finished with 28 points. Ben Simmons had 17 points and 12 assists. Tobias Harris scored 19. The Sixers made 18 of 29 3-pointers and shot 62% overall from the floor.<\/p>\n

Russell Westbrook played a dislocated finger on his right hand and scored 20 points for the Wizards.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
