Bradley Beal wants the Washington Wizards to change their mentality, following their winless start to the season (0-2).

Beal went for a game-high 39 points (14/24 shooting), seven rebounds and five assists, yet the Wizards lost to the Orlando Magic (130-120) at home.

“I think it was an effort thing. The last couple years Orlando has had our number, and I think it’s just from the standpoint of them playing harder than we do.

We just have to be more solid and disciplined and understand that, in the last five, six minutes of the game, it’s time to lock in,” Beal said, per the Washington Post’s Ava Wallace, via Clutchpoints.

Beal and the Wizards will face the Magic again on Sunday night.
