Bradley Beal had the game-high 25 points and the team-high three steals to lead the Phoenix Suns (17-19) to a 123-115 home win over the Atlanta Hawks (19-19) on Thursday. This was the third consecutive game Beal has come off the bench after being removed from the Suns' starting lineup earlier this week.

Before the game against the Hawks, the Suns had a pre-game huddle like any other team would, and typically all the players join in. Beal didn't, though, avoiding the team huddle. It seems the locker room chemistry is only getting worse, and having a star like Beal on the bench will certainly make that happen.
