WASHINGTON (AP) — Antawn Jamison had 32 points and 14 rebounds to lead Washington past the Philadelphia 76ers 108-107 on Tuesday night, hours after the death of Wizards owner Abe Pollin.

Nick Young added 20 points for the Wizards as they snapped a two-game skid despite playing without Caron Butler, who sat out with a sore right ankle.

Louis Williams’ layup pulled Philadelphia to 108-107 with 40 seconds remaining. After Gilbert Arenas committed a turnover with 28 seconds left, Williams missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer as the final buzzer sounded.

There was a moment of silence before the national anthem was played at Verizon Center, which Pollin built mostly with his own money.

The game was Sixers coach Eddie Jordan’s first against his former team since he was fired by the Wizards one year ago to the day.

Raptors 123, Pacers, 112

TORONTO (AP)
— Chris Bosh had 16 points and 12 rebounds, Jose Calderon scored a season-high 21 points and Toronto handed Indiana its fourth straight loss.

Jarrett Jack scored 18 against his former team, and Andrea Bargnani and Hedo Turkoglu each had 14 points for the Raptors, who won for just the second time in six games.

Indiana’s Danny Granger recovered from a poor first half to finish with a season-high 36 points, including seven 3-pointers, and nine rebounds. Ex-Raptor T.J. Ford scored 16.
