WASHINGTON (AP)\u2014John Wall<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 26 points to help the Washington Wizards<\/a>
\novercome a 17-point deficit to beat the New Jersey Nets<\/a> 98-92 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

After New Jersey\u2019s Kris Humphries<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored five straight points to tie the
\nscore at 90 with 1:44 left, Wall hit a jumper with 1:22 left and another with
\n46.5 for a 94-90 lead.<\/p>\n

Wall was helped out by Jordan Crawford\u2019s<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> 21 points, JaVale McGee\u2019s<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> 16 and
\nMaurice Evans\u2019<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> 15.<\/p>\n

Washington, which broke a six-game losing streak, trailed 56-39 just before
\nhalftime, but Wall scored the last four points of the first half.<\/p>\n

The Wizards outscored the Nets 28-12 in the third quarter to take a 71-68
\nlead. The Nets missed 11 of 15 field goal attempts in the quarter.<\/p>\n

Washington stretched its lead to 77-70 with 9:49 left on Kevin Seraphin\u2019s<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span>
\njumper, but the Nets went on a 9-0 run. The Wizards, sparked by two jumpers by
\nWall and a 3-pointer by Maurice Evans, outscored New Jersey 12-4 for an 89-83
\nlead with 4:12 to play before Humphries\u2019 string of points.<\/p>\n

The Nets, who have lost three straight, were led by Robin Lopez<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> with 21
\npoints and 10 rebounds. Anthony Morrow<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> had 19 and Humphries had 18 points and 17
\nrebounds.<\/p>\n

New Jersey was playing without Deron Williams<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> who will miss at least the
\nnext three games with an injured right wrist.<\/p>\n

In place of his star point guard, Nets coach Avery Johnson started Jordan
\nFarmar<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> who had a career-high 17 assists\u201411 in the first half to help the Nets
\nget their big lead.<\/p>\n

Johnson said that Williams\u2019 rest would be re-evaluated after he misses the
\nthree games.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something that we know, rest\u2014not surgery\u2014is required,\u201d Johnson
\nsaid. \u201cWe\u2019ll treat him. We\u2019ll rest him.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Nets\u2019 locker room before the game, Williams said he was eager to play
\nagain this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just getting a little rest and then re-evaluate it,\u201d Williams said.
\n\u201cMaybe a couple of more games. It\u2019s not really set in stone. I\u2019ll just see how
\nit feels.\u201d<\/p>\n

NOTES: New Jersey signed G Sundiata Gaines<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> for the rest of this and next
\nseason. He\u2019ll back up Jordan Farmar in Williams\u2019 absence. \u2026 Humphries had his
\n10th straight double-double. \u2026 Washington G Cartier Martin<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> returned after
\nmissing five games with a right knee injury. \u2026 The two teams are a combined
\n5-60 on the road. The Nets are 4-29. The Wizards are 1-31.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
