loss for Winnipeg. On Monday night at 7 at Shaw Park, the Goldeyes will complete this three-g | Forum

WASHINGTON -- To prepare for the playoffs, Denver coach Brian Shaw said he wants his high-scoring team to learn to win tough games. Mason Plumlee Jersey . There was no better training ground for bump-and-grind basketball than Mondays 75-74 victory over the Washington Wizards. Wilson Chandler scored 17 points, Nate Robinson added 16, and Kenneth Faried had a key block and transition dunk with 33 seconds left. Washington had three possessions after Faried put Denver ahead, but John Wall missed a layup, Trevor Ariza missed a 3-pointer, Chandler blocked a layup try by Garrett Temple, and Robinson stripped the ball from Wall in the closing seconds. Denver, which came in sixth in the NBA in scoring (104 points per game), had its lowest output of the season -- falling 13 points below its previous low -- but was able to conclude a 4-2 road trip. Holding Washington without a field goal for the final 4:04, Denver showed some of the grit that it hopes to employ later in the season. "We didnt even get into the 80s tonight," Shaw said. "But just being able to execute down the stretch, make tough defensive stops when we needed to, I thought we did that tonight, especially at the end of the game." Chandler also had eight rebounds as the Nuggets rallied from 12 points down in the second half, and Robinson helped the Denver reserves outscore their depleted Washington counterparts 34-5. Wall finished with 20 points and eight assists, Marcin Gortat scored 16 points, and Trevor Booker added 12 points and 12 rebounds for the Wizards. Wall was miffed by a no-call at the end of the game, when Robinson made the last of his four steals. "Same thing that was happening all game but I didnt get the call," Wall said. "Nate Robinson was grabbing my arm every time I went by him and thats how I lost the ball and we lose a tough game tonight." In the other locker room, Robinson told reporters that he would "let you all make that decision." Robinson had another key play when sneaked through a screen, stole a pass, and streaked for a fast-break layup, giving Denver its first lead since the second quarter, 73-72. "You gotta be scrappy, do whatever it takes to win," Robinson said. Washington led most of the way behind Wall, but with four rotation players out, Washington got only five points from six reserves who played a combined 62 minutes and shot just 2 for 13. "Weve got to get more than five points from our bench," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. "Thats gotta get better for us, no question about it. I think we got up 12 at the end of the third. I looked up, its two right away. I gotta figure out a way to find guys that are gonna go out there and increase it by 12, keep it at 12, keep it at 10, keep it at eight, until you can get your main guys back." Neither team led by more than four points in a stagnant first half until Washington scored six straight points, including four by Wall, to go up 43-36 with 2 minutes to go before the break. Washington remained in command in the third quarter, pushing its lead to 58-46 on a jumper by Wall. However, the 5-foot-9 Robinson came off the bench for Denver and scored eight points. Timofey Mozgovs tip-in before the end of the quarter pulled Denver to 60-58. The Wizards still had control until midway through the fourth quarter when reserve forward Jordan Hamilton hit consecutive 3-pointers and former Wizards guard Randy Foye followed with another 3-pointer with a drive and pass to Chandler for a dunk, setting the scene for the final grind. "We missed a lot of open shots. They missed a lot of open shots. It was terrible basketball," Faried said. "Its like that sometimes but we came out with a win, so well take it." NOTES: The Wizards announced during the game that forward Al Harrington underwent surgery on Monday to remove particles from his right knee and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. ... Washington also disclosed that top scorer Bradley Beal has been cleared to increase basketball activities. The second-year guard, who missed his seventh straight game on Monday, has been out with a stress injury to his left fibula. ... Washington also was without Nene (foot tendinitis) and Martel Webster (ankle sprain), who remain day-to-day. ...

Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not.Before Sundays game with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, Winnipeg Goldeyes manager Rick Forney said his team “had been punched in the gut.”Despite winning 9-0 on Saturday night, the Goldeyes were eliminated from the American Association playoffs. Even though the Fish will have the same or a better regular season record this year than during last years championship season, they will play their last game on Monday night. Sunday afternoon in front of 6,166 spectators at Shaw Park, the Goldeyes looked like a team that had been metaphorically “punched in the gut,” losing 4-2 to the RedHawks in a meaningless game for both teams. With the loss, the Goldeyes fell to 55-44, while Fargo improved to 62-37. The Goldeyes season will end on Monday, while Fargo will move on to face the Gary SouthShore RailCats in the American Association semifinal. On Sunday, the Goldeyes simply couldnt solve the mystery of Fargo ace Jake Laber. The lefty held the Goldeyes to just one run on three hits over six complete innings, as Fargo buillt a 4-1 lead and coasted to its 10th win in 11 outings against Winnipeg this season. Terry Porter Jersey. Winnipeg opened the scoring in the bottom of the third, as Kevin Moesquit singled, went to second on a throwing error by the pitcher on a failed pick-off attempt, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a ground out by Fehlandt Lentini. After Fargo scored twice in the fourth and twice more in the seventh, Winnipeg added a run in the bottom of the seventh as Ray Sadler was hit by a pitch, went to second on a wild pitch and scored on a double by Casey Haerther. But that was it, as the Goldeyes couldnt put a dent in Fargo relievers Joe Harris and Nathan Kilcrease. Laber (10-5, 3.82 ERA) was the winning pitcher for Fargo, while Kilcrease picked up his seventh save. Salamida (7-1, 2.23 ERA) took the loss for Winnipeg. On Monday night at 7 at Shaw Park, the Goldeyes will complete this three-game series with Fargo and play their final game of the 2013 season.
