Crawford's buzzer beater leads Wizards past Blazers

Washington's Jordan Crawford sank a 30-foot 3-pointer at the final horn to give Washington a 98-95 victory over Portland on Monday night at the Rose Garden.

Portland's Wesley Matthews had drained a 3-pointer to tie the game at 95 with 7.9 seconds to play.

After a timeout, Portland intentionally fouled with a foul to give, stopping the clock with 3.6 seconds to go. After another timeout, Crawford gunned in the winning shot on a fadeaway attempt over Matthews' outstretched arm as time expired.

Nene and Martell Webster each scored 24 points for the Wizards (9-30), who won for the fifth time in the last seven games.

Damian Lillard scored 12 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter to lead five players in double figures for the Trail Blazers (20-21), who suffered their sixth straight defeat.
