He might have scored 50 if he hadn\u2019t been pulled with 8:44 remaining because of his team\u2019s huge lead. He received a nice ovation from the crowd as he left.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTonight was awesome,\u201d Beal said. \u201cTo be back in the city that has helped me grow as a man, drafted me on my 19th birthday. \u2026 A lot of good memories, man, and that tribute video was awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beal played 11 seasons with the Wizards before he was traded to Phoenix last offseason. Washington was heading in a different direction, as evidenced by the team\u2019s current record of 9-40. Now Beal has a chance to play on a star-studded team alongside Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a mutual decision back in the summer. It wasn\u2019t a spiteful or like a disgusting divorce,\u201d Beal said. \u201cIt was a good separation. No hard feelings in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After acknowledging a standing ovation from the crowd during the pregame tribute and patting his chest, Beal put on a show, scoring 14 points in the first quarter and 12 more in the second. A two-handed breakaway dunk gave him 20 points. Another dunk in the third quarter gave him 35.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_579986\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Beal-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-579986\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Beal Photo Courtesy: ESPN<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_579984\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Beal-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-579984\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Beal Photo Courtesy: AP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Wearing a black protective mask after breaking his nose last week, Beal finished the third quarter with a 3-pointer with 0.3 seconds left \u2014 then shot a free throw when Washington was called for a technical foul.
