Published in The Saudi Gazette on 09 - 01 - 2013

WASHINGTON — Bradley Beal found room with a pump fake then sank a game-winning jump shot with three-tenths of a second left Monday as the lowly Washington Wizards beat Oklahoma City 101-99 in an NBA shocker.
Despite the absence of injured Jordan Crawford and Nene, the Wizards captured their fifth win of the season against 28 defeats.
Beal and Martell Webster both scored 22 points for the Wizards and Kevin Seraphin chipped in 19.
Emeka Okafor notched a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds as Washington won for just the second time in their last 15 games. The Wizards had lost five in a row going into the game.
Kevin Durant scored 29 points with eight assists and seven rebounds for the Thunder, the Western Conference leaders who had won five of six coming into the contest.
Serge Ibaka scored a career-high 26 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, while Russell Westbrook finished with 17 points and eight assists.
Bulls 118, Cavaliers 92: Carlos Boozer had 24 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Bulls to a rout of the Cavaliers.
It was the third straight game that Boozer has eclipsed 20 points. This time he did it against the team that drafted him in 2002.
Joakim Noah added 11 points and 11 rebounds while Luol Deng had 19 points and seven assists for the Bulls, who beat the Cavaliers for an 11th straight time.
Chicago (19-13), which posted a season-high in points, moved to 11-1 when Boozer and Noah have double-doubles.
Dion Waiters led Cleveland (8-28) with 18 points. C.J. Miles and Kyrie Irving had 15 points apiece.
Hornets 95, Spurs 88: Eric Gordon scored six straight points in a fourth quarter spurt and had 24 overall to lead the Hornets to a victory over San Antonio.
Anthony Davis added 17 points, Greivis Vasquez 14 and Ryan Anderson 13 for the Hornets, who have won two consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 2-3.
Manu Ginobili scored 21 points to lead the Spurs, who had won eight of their previous nine, dating to a 99-94 victory over the Hornets in San Antonio on Dec. 21.
Tony Parker had 16 points, Tim Duncan 13 and Kawhi Leonard 10 for San Antonio. Duncan was 5 of 14, at one point missing five consecutive shots in the third quarter.
Jazz 100, Mavericks 94: Gordon Hayward scored a season-high 27 points, including four 3-pointers, and the Jazz defeated the Mavericks.
Grizzlies 113, Kings 81: Wayne Ellington scored a season-high 26 points, hitting six 3-pointers, to help the Grizzlies rout the Kings.
Trail Blazers 125, Magic 119, OT: LaMarcus Aldridge had 27 points and 10 rebounds, and the Blazers handed the Magic their ninth straight loss.
Wesley Matthews finished with 24 points.
Celtics 102, Knicks 96: Paul Pierce scored 23 points, and the Boston Celtics beat the New York Knicks 102-96 on Monday night in a heated first meeting of the season between the Atlantic Division rivals. — Agencies
