NEW YORK -- Allen Crabbe shook off a rough shooting night to hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 44 seconds left as the Brooklyn Nets beat the Washington Wizards 103-98 on Tuesday.

Crabbe was among seven Nets in double figures, finishing with 13 points. He shot 3 for 15 from the floor and 3 for 14 from 3-point range on a night when the Nets made 23.3 percent from long range.

Caris LeVert and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson led the Nets with 16 points apiece. DeMarre Carroll added 15 while Tyler Zeller contributed 12. Jarrett Allen scored 11, and Spencer Dinwiddie had 11 points and a career-high 12 assists.

Bradley Beal led Washington with 28 points but only scored three in the fourth. He shot 11 of 33 and missed all seven of his 3-point attempts.

Crabbe's final attempt gave the Nets a 100-98 lead when he was left uncontested from the top of the key and calmly hit the 3-pointer.

After Crabbe's basket, Beal and Carroll traded missed mid-range jumpers. Hollis-Jefferson grabbed the rebound of Carroll's miss with 13 seconds left and, after the Nets used their final timeout, Dinwiddie split a pair of free throws with 8.8 seconds left.

The Wizards had one more chance to tie, but Tomas Satoransky was called for a five-second violation on the inbounds pass intended for Beal. LeVert iced the game at the line.

Before Crabbe's dramatic shot, the Nets took a 14-point lead midway through the third quarter and settled for a 79-78 lead going into the fourth. The Nets held an 89-82 edge with about nine minutes left on a 3-pointer by LeVert, but Washington came right back and held a 95-94 lead on a hoop by Kelly Oubre Jr. (12 points) with about 5 1/2 minutes to play.
