WASHINGTON (AP) Antawn Jamison had 32 points and 14 rebounds
to lead Washington past the Philadelphia 76ers 108-107 on Tuesday
night, hours after the death of Wizards owner Abe Pollin.
Nick Young added 20 points for the Wizards as they snapped a
two-game skid despite playing without Caron Butler, who sat out
with a sore right ankle.
Louis Williams' layup pulled Philadelphia to 108-107 with 40
seconds remaining. After Gilbert Arenas committed a turnover with
28 seconds left, Williams missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer
as the final buzzer sounded.
There was a moment of silence before the national anthem was
played at Verizon Center, which Pollin built mostly with his own
money.
The game was Sixers coach Eddie Jordan's first against his
former team since he was fired by the Wizards one year ago to the
day.

won for just the second time in six games.
Indiana's Danny Granger recovered from a poor first half to
finish with a season-high 36 points, including seven 3-pointers,
and nine rebounds. Ex-Raptor T.J. Ford scored 16.
