Beal is averaging almost 23 points per game while his backcourt partner is dropping 21 points on an average this season. Although Beal is performing slightly better overall, on this particular night, it was Wall who matched Irving's brilliance.

Wall played 41 minutes and dropped 34 points, shooting 14 of 26 from the floor. He also dished out 13 dimes and grabbed 6 boards, finishing with a double-double.

Beal meanwhile had a 50% shooting night (8-16) from the field as well as the three-point land, ending the game with 22 points to his name.

Beal has been averaging almost 25 points throughout his last 10 games, though his total yesterday was the lowest of his previous five matchups with the Wizards.

Both of them missed clutch threes in overtime, and Beal remained scoreless in those extra five minutes.
