Washington Wizards Bradley Beal hit Andre Drummond with a nasty step-back move in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Pistons.
In the opening minutes of the first quarter, Drummond switched onto Beal after a screen was set near the top of the key. After taking a couple of dribbles to his right, Beal quickly brought the ball behind his back for a step-back triple. Drummond, who was clearly beat on the move, continued in the opposite direction, then watched as the shot fell through the net.
The Wizards' bench erupted in various emotions after seeing Beal's move, falling over one another and causing a scene. Some simply fell over, while others covered their eyes:
