Anthony Davis scores 34 in his Wizards debut as Washington rallies past the Bucks 128-116

Anthony Davis had 34 points and 12 rebounds in his first game for Washington on Wednesday night as the Wizards beat the Milwaukee Bucks 128-116 in the season opener for both teams.

Davis was injured when the Wizards acquired him last season and never played for them. Fans serenaded him with "MVP" chants before the first quarter was even over.

The mood shifted as Washington missed 18 of its first 22 3-point attempts and trailed the Bucks well into the second half. The Wizards finally took control early in the fourth quarter.

A fourth-quarter surge

A Deandre Ayton dunk gave Washington a 97-96 lead early in the fourth during a 21-4 run that made it 111-98 with 7:26 to play. The Wizards shot 63% from the field in the second half and outscored Milwaukee 77-60 after the break.

Trae Young finished with 20 points and 13 assists. AJ Dybantsa, the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, sat out with an ankle injury.

Two teams heading different ways

Washington added Davis and Young last season before landing Dybantsa. Milwaukee traded franchise cornerstone Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami in the offseason.

Tyler Herro scored 24 points and Jaime Jaquez Jr. added 22 for the Bucks. Both came to Milwaukee in the Antetokounmpo deal. It was the first game in charge for Bucks coach Taylor Jenkins, who previously coached the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Bucks host Chicago on Friday while the Wizards host Toronto on Friday night.
