NEW YORK (AP) --- Nolan Traore hit five 3-pointers and finished with 23 points
and seven assists, Jalen Wilson added 19 points and the Brooklyn Nets beat the
Washington Wizards 121-115 on Sunday.
The Wizards (17-61) have a two-game on the Nets (19-59) for the best lottery
odds. Indiana is 18-58 entering Sunday's game at Cleveland.
Washington has lost six in a row and 22 of its past 23. The Wizards had given
up 305 combined points in back-to-back losses to Philadelphia ( 153-131 ) and
Miami ( 152-136 ).
Brooklyn won for just the second time in its past 14 games.
Will Riley, who had a career-high 31 points Saturday against the Heat, scored
30, Jamir Watkins added 20 points, and Julian Reese had 17 points and 16
rebounds for the Wizards. Anthony Gill also scored 17 points and Bub Carrington
had 13 points.
E.J. Liddell and Josh Minott each scored 15 for Brooklyn. Drake Powell added 13
points and Ochai Agbaji scored 12.
Watkins hit a 3-pointer that gave the Wizards a four-point lead with 3:50 left
in the game. The Nets answered with an 8-0 run that culminated when Traore made
layup that made it 109-105 with two minutes remaining and Brooklyn led the rest
of the way.
Leaky Black responded with a 3-pointer that cut the deficit to a point, but
Wilson and Traore hit back-to-back 3s before Trevon Scott's layup made it
117-108 with 42 seconds to go.
