Beal's last-second layup helps Wizards beat Mavericks

WASHINGTON (AP) Bradley Beal's last-second layup handed the Dallas Mavericks another loss without Luka Doncic.

They felt as though things slipped away well before that.

Beal made a layup with 0.2 seconds left to finish with 29 points and give the Washington Wizards a 119-118 victory Friday night over Dallas, which has dropped three of five since Doncic went out with a sprained right ankle. The Mavericks committed 14 turnovers that turned into 23 Wizards points, and they weren't themselves defensively in part because Kristaps Porzingis got into foul trouble.

''The game was lost throughout,'' Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said.
