WASHINGTON, April 28 (Xinhua) -- The Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal felt the sting of not making it to the second round of the NBA playoffs after losing to the Toronto Raptors in Game 6 and their series on Friday.
"We lost games in a variety of ways -- turnovers, rebounds, defensive stops, scoring late in games," Beal said. "It's a lot. You can't just pinpoint it on one thing. It was more than one thing."
"We haven't been knocked out of the first round in the past few seasons so I am a little bothered by that. We are a better team than that. We have high expectations coming into the year and we fell short of them," he added.
Beal, who scored 32 points and hit six 3-pointers in Game 6, averaged 22.6 points and career highs of 4.5 assists and 4.4 rebounds while playing in all 82 games in regular season for the first time in his six-year career. He played a career-high 36.3 minutes per game this season. Enditem
