DENVER - Kenneth Faried had 20 points and Aaron Brooks hit four straight free throws in the final 12 seconds, helping the injury-riddled Denver Nuggets hold off the Washington Wizards 105-102 on Sunday night. Randy Foye added 17 for a Nuggets team that was missing J.J. Hickson, who suffered torn ligament in his right knee on Friday. Wilson Chandler also didnt play (strained left hip) and Jan Vesely didnt return after bruising his rib cage late in the third quarter. Bradley Beal wound up with 21 points as the Wizards wrapped up a four-game road swing with a 1-3 record. Trevor Ariza scored 15 of his 18 points in the first quarter and John Wall added 15, but also had eight turnovers. Evan Fourniers floating jumper with 7:36 remaining started a 7-0 run to give the Nuggets a 91-84 lead, which they wouldnt relinquish. Wall struggled down the stretch, turning the ball over twice in the five minutes on offensive charges. But Wall had a steal and a layup with 12.6 seconds remaining to cut Denvers lead to 99-97. Brooks then stepped up to the line and hit two free throws. Beal followed with a dunk when the Nuggets fell asleep on an in-bounds pass with 10.7 seconds remaining. Brooks was then fouled and hit two more free throws to seal Denvers fifth straight home win. The Wizards led by as many as 14 points in the first half, only to squander it away. Ariza put the Wizards up 49-47 at halftime when he hit a 20-footer as the buzzer sounded. Hickson was the latest player to be lost by the Nuggets. They were already without Danilo Gallinari (left ACL), JaVale McGee (broken tibia) and Nate Robinson (left ACL), who all have undergone season-ending operations. Vesely was having one of his best games of the season, before leaving the court late in the third quarter with a bruised rib cage. He had 10 points in 15 minutes. Andre Miller made his return to the Pepsi Center for the first time since New Years Day, when he got into an on-court confrontation with former coach Brian Shaw. Miller, now a backup guard with the Wizards, was originally suspended by the Nuggets, but it was later rescinded. Miller stayed away from the squad until he was dealt to the Wizards on Feb. 20. Both Miller and Shaw said before the game theyve moved on from the incident. To show it, they shook hands when Miller entered the game to start the second quarter. "Im sure both of us didnt take this personal," Shaw said. "Its unfortunate that it had to happen and neither one of us wanted that to happen but I dont have a problem with him. I have the most respect for Andre Miller." NOTES: Miller had two points in his return. ... Denvers bench scored 52 points. Darrell Arthur led the way with 15. ... Asked about the mounting injuries before the game, Shaw said: "I hope its karma in reverse and that all of the bad stuff is out of the way this year and everything will be uphill from here on out."

No, and the same answer applies to the race track, with sad proof of that more evident than ever.8) Back to the Tigers, sort of. Should we applaud Kate Upton for her honesty in realizing and admitting that Justin Verlanders fans blame her when he pitches poorly? His fantasy owners get so mad they wonder if she should remain in their fantasies of a different kind. So Im told. And no, we wont blame her when her boyfriend suffers an injury.9) Johnny Manziel vs. Brian Hoyer. If that is the extent of your interest in the Cleveland Browns, would you be willing to admit that you once followed the Denver Broncos because of Tim Tebow?10) Shall we make it official? The Montreal Alouettes change coaches more often than Chad Johnson changes names.11) Do you chuckle when you hear what might lie ahead for Rory McIlroy? 15 majors? 20 majors? Seems to me theres a guy stuck at 14 who was supposed to have reached one or both of those marks by now. 12) Who hurts more, the tacklers run over by Rob Gronkowski, or Gronkowski? Never mind his knees and his back, the New England Patriots tight end is trying to come back from four arm surgeries in the past two years. He says it has been miserable. No reason not to believe him.13) Lets lobby for a few changes to the rules of baseball, shall we? The fly ball that is lost in the sun and falls at the outfielders feet should not be a hit.14) From the rubber, the pitcher is not allowed to fake a throw to first base, and the deceptive "third to first" pickoff try has beeen outlawed.ddddddddddddWhy not stop the "turn and look the runner back to second" time-wasting move?15) Bear with me on this one. The closer enters the game in the bottom of the ninth with a one-run lead and blows the save by allowing the tying run. His team goes ahead in the top of the 10th and he pitches the bottom of the 10th and gets the win. That seems more like a second-chance save to me. Doesnt the win more rightly belong to the pitcher who stood to get it in the ninth?16) Meanwhile, back to golfs decison-making process, in this case, the Ryder Cup. USA team captain Tom Watson says hell basically let Tiger Woods decide if hes healthy enough and playing well enough to deserve a spot. What if team member Jordan Spieth told Watson to pick himself, based on the fact Watsons 36-hole score at the PGA was lower than Spieths, and Tigers?17) Is there ever a time when hockey isnt in the news?
