NBA roundup: Wizards nip Celtics in 2OTs

and Markieff Morris hit 3-pointers and Bradley Beal capped a
34-point performance with a three-point play, helping the visiting Washington
Wizards run away from the short-handed Boston Celtics in the second overtime
Wednesday night before holding on for a 125-124 victory.

Jayson Tatum misfired on a potential game-winning 3-point attempt with 3.2
seconds remaining in the second overtime, concluding a valiant effort by a
Celtics team missing starters Kyrie Irving (sore left knee), Al Horford
(illness) and Jaylen Brown (concussion).

Beal had a team-high nine assists for the Wizards, who got an 18-point,
11-rebound double-double from Porter.

20 points. Marcus Morris poured in a team-high 31 points for the Celtics, who
lost for just the third time in their past nine games.

Nick Young, Quinn Cook, Kevon Looney and Zaza Pachulia did all the scoring in

State to a victory over Los Angeles in Oakland, Calif., that completed a
season-series sweep.

Kevin Durant dropped in a game-high 26 points for the Warriors, who were
playing without three All-Stars -- Stephen Curry (sprained right ankle), Klay
Thompson (fractured right thumb) and Draymond Green (sore right shoulder).

Julius Randle had a team-high 22 points for the Lakers, who were playing the
second game of a back-to-back set, having beaten Denver 112-103 in an
emotional revenge game Tuesday.
