WASHINGTON -- The Washington Wizards had the perfect opportunity for a first victory, facing a struggling and tired Utah Jazz team ready to go home after nearly a week on the road. Kevin Faulk Jersey Elite . Instead, the night ended with another demoralizing loss that turned awkward and surreal in the final minute -- when the home crowd started cheering wildly for a chicken sandwich giveaway. The Jazz pulled away in the fourth quarter and capped a four-game road trip with an 83-76 win Saturday, making the Wizards only the second team in NBA history to start 0-8 in back-to-back seasons. "Its tough," Washington coach Randy Wittman said. "I dont know how else to put it." Al Jefferson scored 21 points, Gordon Hayward added 15 in his first game as a reserve this season, and the Jazz put on a sloppy performance that included 19 turnovers -- and got away with it because they were playing the Wizards. "We didnt play our best basketball," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said. "But its good to see the guys gut it out there when things werent going particularly well for us." The game was tied at 65 early in the fourth when the Wizards went cold, shooting only 4 for 19 from the field in the final period. The Jazz held Washington scoreless for more than 4 minutes while building their first double-digit lead of the game. Utah had nine offensive rebounds in the quarter. Then, in the final minute, the marketing atmosphere of the NBA game experience hit a new low when the fans roared because Marvin Williams missed two free throws to guarantee everyone a free chicken sandwich -- even as Utahs Paul Millsap was grabbing the offensive rebound to help put the game out of reach. "You kind of notice it, but the fans pay their money," Millsap said. "They didnt get a win; at least they got some sandwiches." Fed up with recent slow starts, both coaches shuffled their lineups with two new starters. Corbin went with Randy Foye and Derrick Favours instead of Hayward and Williams, hoping Hayward would get more shots with the second unit. The strategy had mixed results. The Jazz again started slowly -- looking like a team that couldnt wait to get on the plane. They missed nine of their first 10 shots to trail 15-2 midway through the first quarter. Players said they were adjusting to the new lineup. But Hayward and Williams came in and provided a spark, with Hayward scoring six points in a quarter-ending 13-2 spurt. The game then stayed close into the fourth quarter, with Jefferson asserting himself along the way with 17 of Utahs 27 third-quarter points. Corbin said hes not sure whether hell stick with the new starting five for another game. "I didnt feel too comfortable with it," Millsap said. "It was tough, especially starting out. ... Nothing worked at the beginning of the game, but when were clicking, when everything is flowing, thats a pretty good starting lineup." Wittman made his first lineup change of the season, with Jordan Crawford and Jan Vesely on the floor at tipoff instead of Trevor Booker and rookie Bradley Beal. The Wizards have yet to play this season with John Wall (knee) or Nene (foot), although Nene has resumed practicing with the team. "Thats not an excuse," Wittman said. "Weve got enough here to win games, and we do -- and weve got to believe that. Ive got to help them believe in themselves right now. Were low on confidence right now from an offensive standpoint." The changes didnt alter the final result for the Wizards, who remain overmatched and inconsistent as the only winless team in the NBA. The Jazz entered the game 1-6 on the road and were playing the second half of a back-to-back following a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, but Washington was outrebounded 60-44, outhustled too often, and again couldnt get to the free-throw line nearly enough. Utah also took 27 free throws to Washingtons 12. And, no, not all of the Wizards fans were cheering for sandwiches at the end. There werent that many left in the arena. Most had already departed after booing their team. "Its acceptable," Crawford said. "We are 0-8." NOTES: Crawford scored 20 points to lead the Wizards. ... The teams combined for the same number of turnovers as made baskets (12) in the first quarter. ... The Memphis Grizzlies are the only other franchise with back-to-back 0-8 starts, accomplishing the dubious feat in 2001-02 and 2002-03, according to STATS, LLC. ... Shaun Livingston, signed on Thursday, made his Wizards season debut, scoring four points in 17 minutes.

Van Pelt started the day four shots behind overnight leader Emiliano Grillo and grabbed the lead when Grillo bogeyed two of his last three holes. The 20-year-old Grillo had moved to 13 under with birdies at the sixth and ninth holes. But bogeys at 10 and 11 dropped Grillo back into the chasing group and Dufner, who also shot 67 on Saturday, took a share of the lead with five birdies between the seventh and 12th holes. Grillo reclaimed a one-shot lead with a birdie at No. 12 but Van Pelt finished with four birdies over the last eight holes. Van Pelt sealed his lead with a monster 55-yard putt for birdie on the 18th. "Once in a while the hole just gets in the way," Van Pelt said. "I was just trying to get the ball down there and two-putt. Dan Connolly Jersey Patriots. Lo and behold, the thing goes in the hole. "It was just nice to finish with a birdie like that and hopefully Ill take momentum in tomorrow." Van Pelt said Grillo remained a threat going into the final round. The Argentine, battling to secure his European Tour card, is currently ranked 112th in the Race to Dubai with the top 115 after next months Hong Kong Open retaining their cards for next season. "He played a lot better than his score today," Van Pelt said. "He probably had five or six putts that looked like they were going in, but hit the edge. Thats just golf. Some days they go in, other days they hit the edge." Dufner sits alone in second place at 11-under 205. Grillo was third overall, a shot further back, while Alejandro Canizares of Spain and David Howell of England were tied for fourth at 7 under. ' ' '
