    Through the first three quarters of Game 2 of the Washington Wizards' opening playoff series, Bradley Beal made only 6 of 18 shots. And that came after shooting just 9 for 21 in Game 1.

    Did all of those misses bother him? Not one bit. Instead, he relied on a silly play on words that he says his agent taught him.

    "It's something I always tell myself: I don't know what a `miss' is. A `miss' is a `lady," Beal explained with a smile. "Everybody's confident in me. Coach is more than confident in me. So I just rise up and shoot it."

    In a rough-and-tumble, foul-filled game, Beal and backcourt mate John Wall took over in the fourth quarter Wednesday night, combining to score 20 of Washington's last 21 points in a 109-101 victory over the Atlanta Hawks that gave the Wizards a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference series.
