NEW YORK (AP) - John Wall scored 25 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter, and the Washington Wizards beat the Brooklyn Nets 118-113 on Monday night.
Bradley Beal and Otto Porter Jr. had 18 points apiece and Markieff Morris added 16 for Washington.
Brook Lopez scored 25 and Sean Kilpatrick had 21 for the Nets.
Beal's 3-pointer gave the Wizards a 107-106 lead with 3:27 left and Wall scored five consecutive points to up the advantage to 112-106.
The Nets pulled within 116-113 on Kilpatrick's layup with 39 seconds left and had a chance to tie after Kelly Oubre Jr. missed a 3-point attempt with 19 seconds left. However, the Nets did not call a timeout and Beal stole the ball from Joe Harris, the Nets' 22nd and final turnover of the game.
