Bradley Beal had the perfect response to the Phoenix Suns being swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Beal had guaranteed that the Suns wouldn’t be swept. Personally, Beal had never been on the losing end of a sweep in his career and didn’t see it happening against Minnesota.
“I’ve never been swept a day in my life. I can’t … I’ll be damned if that happens,” Beal said ahead of Game 4. “It’s gonna be a tough game. I’m sure it’s gonna get in the back of their mind that’s something they want to go out and get down. I’ve been in a 3-0 situation and you just want to put that team to bed, so they’re gonna come out and playing their best basketball on Sunday.”
The Timberwolves completed the sweep with a 122-116 victory in Game 4. Beal had a miserable evening. He scored just 9 points on 4-of-13 shooting and fouled out in the fourth quarter. Beal admitted that Minnesota made him eat his words.
“I’ll be damned, man,” Beal said to reporters on Monday, April 29.
Beal added: “I’m trying to make light of the situation, but it’s a [expletive] feeling, excuse my language. It definitely is. You have huge expectations for yourself as a team and obviously individually to contribute and be a part of something really big and that series just sucked. And, obviously, the last game for me was horrible.”
