Rui Hachimura scored a season-high 29 points Saturday but could not get the Washington Wizards across the line in a closely fought 125-119 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

The second-year forward stepped up in the absence of NBA scoring leader Bradley Beal, who missed the game at Washington's Capital One Arena with a minor knee injury.

In 38 minutes, Hachimura shot 11 of 18 from the field, including three of five from deep, while grabbing 11 rebounds to record the first 20-10 game of his career.
