Anthony Davis scores 34 in Wizards debut as Washington beats Milwaukee 128-116

Anthony Davis scored 34 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in his Washington Wizards debut, leading them to a 128-116 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. Davis shot 11-for-20 and added four assists, two steals and a block in his first regular-season game in nearly nine months. The Wizards acquired the 33-year-old in a trade with the Dallas Mavericks earlier this year, but injuries had delayed his impact. Davis scored 18 points in the third quarter, and Washington outscored Milwaukee 38-23 in the final period after entering it up 93-90.
