WASHINGTON (AP) Danilo Gallinari scored 26 points and hit four of his five 3-pointers to lead the Denver Nuggets to a 117-113 victory over the reeling Washington Wizards on Thursday night.
After the Wizards, who have lost five of six, clawed back from an 18-point, third-quarter deficit to tie the game at 99-all, Gary Harris and Gallinari hit consecutive 3-pointers for a 105-99 lead with 3:16 to go.
Emmanuel Mudiay added 20 points for the Nuggets, who rebounded from Wednesday night's loss in Boston with a sharp performance from the 3-point line, going 9 for 18.
