NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony kept losing the ball all night long, and now the New York Knicks have lost their hold on eighth place in the Eastern Conference
playoff race.
Michael
Taylor Nationals Jersey . Anthony committed nine turnovers and
Bradley Beal made another big shot at Madison Square Garden, a go-ahead jumper
over Tyson Chandler with 6.9 seconds left as the Washington Wizards beat the
Knicks 90-89 on Friday night. Beals jumper quieted the Garden crowd just as he
did back on Dec. 16, when he beat the Knicks for a go-ahead layup. "Its pretty
cool, I guess", Washingtons second-year guard said. "For them to go silent,
thats kind of, Wow." John Wall, who added 19 points, combined with Beal for
Washingtons final 12 to dampen New Yorks playoffs hopes. Anthony was favouring
an ailing right shoulder he said he initially banged up during the win against
Brooklyn on Wednesday. He felt it go out during the first half but decided to
keep playing. He lost control of the ball as he tried to go left into the lane
on New Yorks last possession, but J.R. Smith, who as of late has recaptured the
form that earned him last years Sixth Man of the Year award, recovered it but
missed a potential winning 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds left. Smith finished with
a season-high 32 points. "I felt like I lost the ball," Anthony said. "It was a
tough loss, man. I wish I could have did better and played better. For the most
part I thought my teammates did what they had to do. J.R. had a phenomenal game.
I wish I could have rewarded that." The Knicks announced after the game that
Anthony strained his right shoulder but X-rays were negative. He said he expects
to play Sunday against the Miami Heat. New York dropped out of the final playoff
position just two nights after moving into it by beating the Nets. Struggling
Atlanta went back ahead by one game after beating the Cleveland Cavaliers
earlier Friday. Smith would have liked to have had the chance to take the
initial shot. "Yeah, no matter who that is, I always want the last shot. Its
something Ive never been shy about", Smith said. Anthony, held to 10 points,
made a jumper to cut the Wizards lead to 88-86 lead with 1:33 remaining. After
Wall missed a long shot in front of the arc at the top of the key, Anthony tried
to connect with Tim Hardaway Jr., who was open near the Washington bench for a
3, but Martell Webster intercepted Anthonys pass. The Knicks got the ball back
after Wall lost control of it as he drove to the basket. With 33.5 seconds left,
Anthony then found an open Raymond Felton for a 3-pointer to give the Knicks an
89-86 lead, but Beal answered with his jumper over Chandler, who had come out to
help. It was the second straight win for Washington, which clinched its first
playoff since 2008 on Wednesday. "Our defence was pretty good but Trevors
(Ariza) defence on Carmelo was outstanding", Wizards coach Randy Wittman said.
"Trevor fought and fought him. At the end we decided to trap him and make
someone else beat us." The Knicks couldnt and now they will face a tough
challenge Sunday when they travel to face the Miami Heat, who have already
beaten them twice this season. The Knicks have five remaining games, three on
the road, against three teams that are all playoff-bound in the East. New York
cant afford to have its leading scorer out. "Well I knew it was bothering him,
but you know weve got to have Melo on the floor," Woodson said. "Again, it was a
hard-fought game. Our guys came up defeated, so now we have to figure out how
were going to get it back because ... Atlanta won tonight." Notes: Former
Buffalo Bills quarterback and Hall of Famer Jim Kelly attended the game with his
family. Kelly, who is battling his second bought with cancer, will undergo
treatment next week at a hospital in the city. ... Before the game, the Knicks
honoured Anthony with a plaque to celebrate his 62-point, Madison Square Garden
record, set Jan. 24.
