Wizards' Bradley Beal: Erupts for season-high 34 in Saturday's loss

Beal scored 34 points (12-26 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding five rebounds, four assists and a steal in 40 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 loss to the Heat.

Analysis:

The 34 points and four three-pointers were season highs for Beal, who has looked good in both of his outings since missing three games due to a hamstring injury. Health, and not talent, remains the biggest obstacle between the fifth-year shooting guard and a true breakout campaign, but the fact that he was given such a hefty workload Saturday suggests the Wizards aren't worried about Beal experiencing a setback with the hamstring.
