CJ McCollum posted season highs with 46 points and 10 three-pointers as the Washington Wizards never trailed en route to a 132-113 win over the Atlanta Hawks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The game also marked the first time that Australian star Dyson Daniels<\/a> had not recorded a steal in his past 70 appearances in the NBA.<\/p>\n

Daniels held the fourth-longest streak in league history going into the loss, with only three players – Michael Jordan<\/a> (77), Alvin Robertson (105) and Chris Paul (108) – ahead of him when it came to steals in consecutive matches.<\/p>\n

The win for the Wizards came off the back of a brilliant display from McCollum, who missed only three times from beyond the arc and finished one three-pointer shy of his career-high and a franchise record.<\/p>\n

His team finished with a 45-point first quarter and 77-point first half, both season bests.<\/p>\n

Alex Sarr added 27 points and 11 rebounds for the Wizards, who snapped a 14-game losing streak \u2014 two shy of a franchise record.<\/p>\n

Kristaps Porzingis scored 22 points and Onyeka Okongwu had 20 for Atlanta, who had a two-game winning streak snapped in their worst loss since the season opener.<\/p>\n

Both teams are now 1-2 in the NBA Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CJ McCollum posted season highs with 46 points and 10 three-pointers as the Washington Wizards never trailed en…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":309287,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-309286","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
