Basketball: Bradley Beal's 35 helps Washington beat Boston 104-91

Bradley Beal returned from a rare night off to score 35 points, Russell Westbrook was a rebound short of a triple-double, and the Washington Wizards beat the Boston Celtics 104-91. Beal, the NBA’s leading scorer who sat out Friday night's loss to the New York Knicks, appeared rejuvenated as he hit 10 of 18 from the field, converted four 3-pointers and made all 11 of his free throws. Westbrook had 13 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds and Rui Hachimura added 15 points for Washington. Beal's old friend from St. Louis, Jayson Tatum - who entered the game averaging 26.6 points - was held to a season-low six points for Boston. Kemba Walker and Jalen Brown each scored 25 points for the Celtics, who have lost 10 of 16.
