Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook both scored three-pointers inside the last nine seconds as the Washington Wizards upset the Brooklyn Nets 149-146.
Brooklyn must have thought they were home and dry when Kyrie Irving, who scored 26, sunk two free throws to give the Nets a 146-141 lead with 12.3 seconds left to play.
But Beal sunk a three to reduce the deficit to two, and Garrison Matthews completed a steal off a bad Nets pass and hit Westbrook who saw the Wizards take a late lead and the win.

The Utah Jazz's winning streak of 11 games came to an end as Nikola Jokic scored 47 in a 128-117 win for the Denver Nuggets.
Denver outscored their opponents 43-29 in the first quarter and kept their noses in front against their division rivals.
