Foye helps Wizards clip Nets
Basketball Betting Lines
02/28/2010 -
East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andray Blatche recorded a career night
with 36 points, but it was Randy Foye's key jumpers in the final minute that
lifted the Washington Wizards to an 89-85 victory over the New Jersey Nets.
The Nets were coming off Saturday's win at Boston and looking to win
consecutive games for the first time all season. The game was tied with just
under a minute left, but Foye made a baseline jumper with 44.6 seconds
left before connecting again with 13.5 to go as the Wizards denied the Nets
the opportunity.
Blatche connected on 17 of 31 shots, pulled down 15 rebounds and had four
assists for the Wizards, while Foye finished with 16 points. Al Thornton added
20 points and eight boards in the victory, which snapped Washington's two-game
slide.
Yi Jianlian had 20 points and a career-high 19 boards to pace the Nets, who
were looking for their seventh win of the season. Devin Harris had 18 points,
14 assists and seven boards in the loss, while Brook Lopez added 16 points and
10 rebounds.
The Nets trailed by seven with just over five minutes to play, but used a
nine-point run to move ahead. Terrence Williams fueled the rally with seven
points, ending it on a dunk for an 81-79 edge.
JaVale McGee evened the game with a layup with 2:54 to go before each team
missed a series of shots. Blatche then drained a mid-range jumper from the
right side with 1:33 on the clock, and on the Nets' ensuing possession, Yi was
fouled as he went up for a dunk. However, he made just 1-of-2 to keep the Nets
down by one.
Yi made it back to the line with 58.8 seconds left and again only made one
attempt, evening the score. But Foye delivered from the baseline on the
Wizards' next touch, and after Harris missed a jumper, Foye drained another
shot to make it a two-possession game. The Nets missed a number of shots at
the other end, and Thornton sealed the win with a pair from the line.
New Jersey led by as many as 14 points, doing so in the first quarter before
the Wizards got within 31-24 moving to the second. The Nets stretched
their lead back out, taking a 46-32 advantage on a Yi jumper.
However, the Wizards closed the half on a 9-2 run to get within 50-44 at the
break.
Washington drew even in the third, as buckets from Blatche and Mike Miller
made it a 57-57 contest. It remained tight the rest of the frame, and the
Wizards held a 69-68 edge going to the fourth.
Blatche's layup with 5:19 left in the game ended a six-point Washington burst
for a 79-72 difference.

The Nets shot 35.2 percent, including a 3-of-14 performance from three-point
