The 8 Best NBA Performances From Last Week: Durant Thrashes the Thunder

8. Bradley Beal vs. Portland Trail Blazers

Last Monday, Bradley Beal took advantage of the Portland Trail Blazers and their porous defense. In the Washington Wizards' 120-101 home win, the five-year veteran scored 25 points in only 28 minutes of play, having received a little rest given the blowout nature of the contest.

While he hit 7 of 11 shots (3 of 3 from three-point land) from the field and a perfect 8 of 8 from the line, Beal also contributed 5 assists and 3 steals. But it was his efficient shooting that earned him a 51.95 nERD and a perfect numberFire live rating. Beal's 86.1% true shooting led to an offensive rating of 173.5 points per 100 possessions on the game and a nERD more than 10 times better than the best Blazer.
