  • Ineffective in Game 4 loss
    Beal posted nine points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block over 31 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 122-116 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: This was Beal's worst game of the playoffs, and it resulted in the Suns getting swept by the Timberwolves in the first round. For the fifth straight campaign, Beal was unable to eclipse 60 games and struggled with injuries. He ended up making 53 appearances in his first season with the Suns, posting averages of 18.2 points, 5.0 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.9 three-pointers. Rotowire.com Today, 8:12 am
     
  • Scores team-high 28 points Friday
    Beal finished Friday's 126-109 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 28 points (10-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 43 minutes.

    Advice: Beal led the Suns in scoring Friday, but as has been the case throughout the series, Phoenix simply hasn't been able to hang with the Timberwolves throughout an entire game, which explains the 0-3 series deficit the Suns are currently in. This was the first team Beal surpassed the 15-point mark in the series, and the veteran guard will need to keep the momentum going for Game 4 on Sunday if the Suns want to avoid getting swept in the first round.

  • Passive performance Tuesday
    Beal posted 14 points (6-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists across 42 minutes during Tuesday's 105-93 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

    Advice: Beal was relatively quiet in the loss, much like his teammates. Despite keeping it close, Phoenix was simply overwhelmed by the Timberwolves, both inside and outside the paint. Now trailing 2-0 in the series, the Suns will look to get back on track Friday when they host Game 3. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:48 pm
     
  • Bradley Beal records 15 points, six dimes vs. MIN
    Bradley Beal finished Sunday’s 120-95 loss to the Timberwolves with 15 points (6-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, three steals, and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes.

    Advice: Beal shot the ball efficiently, making 60% of his attempts from the field, but ten shots is low for a scorer of his caliber. In the two games he played against Minnesota during the regular season, Beal averaged 15 attempts, so fans should expect a more involved guard in Tuesday’s Game 2. With Grayson Allen injuring his ankle during the third quarter of Saturday’s defeat, Beal’s role will be of even greater importance if the NBA’s leader in 3-point percentage cannot play.
