WASHINGTON -- Exactly three hours after the game started, Joe Johnson finally won an exhausting game for the Brooklyn Nets. Johnsons 18-footer with 0.7 seconds left in the second overtime lifted the Nets to a 115-113 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday night. Bradley Beals two free throws tied the score at 113 with 9.1 seconds to play before Johnson, who had 18 points, hit the shot that improved Brooklyn to 4-1 under interim coach P.J. Carlesimo. "Thats what big-time players do. We put him in a good position to make the play, and he made the play," Carlesimo said. Washington double-teamed Johnson as it had earlier in the game, but this time he knew it was coming. "In that situation, man, Id seen the double team coming and I just took one hard dribble and pulled up for a jumper," Johnson said. Brook Lopez had 27 points and 13 rebounds for the Nets, and Deron Williams added 24 points and 10 assists. Beal had a career-high 24 points. Jordan Crawford scored 23 points and Nene, who fouled out in the first overtime, had 20 for Washington, which lost its fourth in a row and is now 4-27. "How many times weve been here? Ive lost count," an exasperated coach Randy Wittman said. After Martell Websters jumper gave the Wizards a 106-104 lead to begin the second overtime, Gerald Wallace made a layup and Keith Bogans converted a three-point play and a layup for a 111-106 lead with 3:21 to play. Beal hit a 3-pointer as the first overtime ended to tie the score at 104. It was the second time Washington extended the game at the horn. Nene hit a hook shot to tie it at 93 in regulation. The Wizards scored the first eight points of overtime to take a 101-93 lead with 1:27 left, but the Nets later scored 11 straight for a 104-101 lead with 3.4 seconds left, before Beals shot. "Bradley kept us alive when we should have been dead and we never should have been dead to begin with," Wittman said. "The thing thats disturbing is that we do the same mistake over and over again as youre closing the game out. When a guys doubled, you have to move the ball." It was the third straight win in overtime for Brooklyn, and Washingtons fifth straight loss in OT. "Just went down to the wire. There was nothing they were really doing that was killing us. We were neck-and-neck the whole time," Beal said. The game featured the return of Andray Blatche, who was let go by Washington last summer after seven stormy seasons. The Wizards used the amnesty provision on Blatche, who was banished from the team by Wittman last March for poor conditioning. Blatche was booed by the crowd when he entered with just under five minutes to play in the first quarter. Moments later, with the crowd still booing, he hit his first shot and then drew laughs when he tripped as he ran down the court. He had 13 points and 12 rebounds. "I probably screwed up by not playing him more than I did," Carlesimo said. "Theres a lot of people that would not have been able to handle the situation, the first time back. He didnt handle it. He thrived in it." Blatche said he didnt care about the crowds reaction. "The thing is, the booing didnt affect me at all because I dont play for them. Theyre supposed to boo me, theyre supposed to go against me," Blatche said. The Wizards started off quickly, shooting 9 of 11 as they took a 20-10 lead with 6:27 to play in the first quarter and led 30-20 after one. In the second quarter, Washington stretched the lead to 36-22 before the Nets hit four consecutive 3-pointers to cut the deficit to two. The Wizards led 55-52 at halftime behind 13 points by Nene and Crawford. NOTES: Washington G Garrett Temple had a career-high 11 assists. ... Brooklyn was without G C.J.

Both teams are staying at the sprawling Ramstein Air Base in southwestern Germany and thats where the Armed Forces Classic will be played, with the tip-off around midnight Friday local time. Catch the action live on TSN2 at 5:30pm et/2:30pm pt. After arriving in Germany on Thursday on separate overnight flights, both teams visited a military medical facility that treats servicemen and servicewomen wounded in places such as Afghanistan. On Friday, the military gave the teams separate tours aboard two C-130 cargo planes, which circled low over the area on 45-minute flights. Both teams also found time to practice late on both days before the game and give basketball clinics to kids, both of which could help to shake off some jet lag. The military experience could be valuable, as Michigan State found out last year. Going into the season unranked, the Spartans lost to No. 1 North Carolina in the Carrier Classic aboard the USS Carl Vinson in San Diego. But the Spartans then won the Big Ten regular season and tournament championships to earn a No. 1 seeding in the NCAA tournament. The Spartans have won 33 of their last 35 openers. Tom Izzo, entering his 18th year as the Spartans head coach, believes being close to the military discipline will help his players pay attention to details. "I think it will give (our players)) a different perspective on how attention to details is important to them," he said.dddddddddddd "Its a way of life. They (soldiers) have to be that way. Its not an option. I think those kinds of things will help and team time is important too. "They will be on an airplane together for eight hours, they will be in a hotel together. Its part of the team-building process and why not do it at the beginning of the year when its the most important time," Izzo said. There is a lot of team-building ahead for UConn. The Huskies dont have a chance to play in the post-season after failing to meet NCAA academic standards. They dont have the five players who left the program early after the post-season ban was announced. And they dont have Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun, who retired in September. After a disappointing 20-14 season that ended with a loss in the first round of the NCAA tournament a year after winning their third national title, the Huskies have a new head coach in Kevin Ollie. "Nobody thinks were good enough," said sophomore guard Ryan Boatright, one of just five players with notable playing time returning from last years team. "But we feel like weve got enough here to have a successful season and to open a lot of peoples eyes this year, and to prove everybody wrong. I feel thats the chip weve got on our shoulders, to prove the world wrong." Although this is the Huskies first game in Europe, its a trip back home for their three German players, Niels Giffey, Leon Tolksdorf and Enosch Wolf. ' ' '
