The former Wizard closed the quarter out in style after Washington cut Brooklyn's lead to 28-27. He made a layup and then added a three-point play before finishing the period with a long 3-point shot just before the buzzer.

But Washington battled back and cut the Nets' lead to 44-43 on an Ish Smith jumper midway through the second quarter. Brooklyn then went on a 10-2 run, which ended with two baskets from Irving -- the first being a short shot and the second a long 3-pointer.

Beal heated up late for the Wizards and scored the final four points of the half, but the Nets held on to a 61-59 lead at the break.

Both teams went cold from the field in the final minutes of the third quarter, but the Wizards remained in it due to the Nets' shaky free-throw shooting. Troy Brown Jr. sank a running jumper as time ran out that cut the Brooklyn lead to 84-81 after three.
