Leonard might have gotten away with steps but Beal fouled Ananaoby on that rebound attempt.

We finally got a no-call in our favor. Beal got away with a foul to bat that ball out of Anunoby's hands on the offensive board.

Props to Brooks for sticking with Bryant rather than the typical reflexive action of going small down the stretch.

Beal for the win here. They'll probably double him if gets to the paint, leaving Bryant open.

Tough semi-tank loss. What fight but just couldn't finish. Beal played 54 minutes. Don't think he had much left.

You guys should have one this. Raptors were garbage in the 2OT.

Great game Wiz fans. Crazy to see how much better you guys are without Wall.

The Wizards shot themselves in the foot today by not making free throws. The little points count big in huge games. Beal and Ariza should be pissed at themselves for that.

Beal with 43 points, 15 assists, 10 boards. Needed more from Sato (4pts, 2-13 FG, 2 ast) to get over the top. Bryant continues to impress with 18pts, 11 rebs. Love that kid.

When Beal drove and passed to the corner, I thought he had a chance to just stop hard and lean into the trailing Ibaka to draw the foul. Beal still has work to do in learning how to seek out fouls. Still, an incredible game though.

Despite jumping out to a 23-point lead, thought Toronto was ripe to be beaten. No Miles, usual Wiz killer, No Van Vleet and No Jonas. That shows you how deep they are but Monroe is a stiff. Kawhi appeared to tweak his leg and lose some lift. Still had 41 and 11. No wonder they rest him every now and then.

I know everyone loves Sato like Rudy...but dude is a liability when he give you 4 points in double ot...and don’t give me advance analytics...I can count to 4....

Yes, he had a bad shooting night, but they're few and far between.

Normally, a bad shooting night for him is to go 1-6 while getting 9 assists and 7 boards, so it doesn't really hurt the team much. This is probably the first time in his career he has missed more than 10 shots.

Beal looked like agent zero. What a baller/franchise player.

I just checked. In his entire career, he has missed 8 shots on two separate occasions. One time last year, he went 0-8. And he once went 4-12 two years ago.

This is the first time he has ever missed more than 8 shots in a game.

I’ve grown tired of Wall overall this season, but man I do feel bad for him when opposing fanbases say “you guys are better without Wall”, even if it’s true. Feel like they say it after losses too.
