PHOENIX -- Joe Johnson was too tired to celebrate his game-winning shot. Moments after his Brooklyn Nets teammates ran out onto the court to congratulate him following their 100-98 overtime win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night, Johnson could only shake his head at scoring only 13 points on 6-of-19 shooting. But two of those shots were game-changers. The first, a short floater with 30 seconds left, sent the game into overtime. The second, a close-range teardrop, fell in as time expired. Johnson grabbed a loose ball tipped out to him by teammate Kevin Garnett and glided up the court as the clock ran down in overtime. "I knew I didnt have to take a rushed shot," Johnson said. "I just took my time coming up the court and got in the paint and made a play. I hesitated to make them (defenders) think I was going to pull up at the 3-point line. "I had to get as close as I could. Obviously, I couldnt make a shot to save my life tonight." Brook Lopez scored 25 of his 27 points in the second half and overtime and added seven rebounds and three blocked shots to help the Nets pick up their first road win of the season. The Suns had tied the game on a lob to P.J. Tucker for a dunk with 57 seconds left in overtime. Tucker scored 15 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter and overtime for the Suns, who had been undefeated at home in four previous games. Tuckers 3-pointer out of the right corner with 39.1 seconds left in regulation gave the Suns a 92-90 lead, but Johnson tied it seconds later with his floater. Goran Dragic led five Suns in double figures with 19 points. Dragic, playing with 13 stitches near his left eye from a collision with Portlands Mo Williams on Wednesday, added 10 assists. The Nets lost point guard Deron Williams with 7:26 to play in the first quarter when he went down in a heap driving to the basket. Williams hopped off the court with what was determined to be a sprained left ankle and did not return. X-rays were negative, and the team did not give a timetable for Williams return. "I landed on (teammate Mason) Plumlees foot," Williams said. "All my weight was on it (the ankle). Its frustrating. No words can describe it. Sick of getting injured, sick of being hurt. I just want to be healthy and help my team." Williams had ankle problems in the preseason. The first quarter saw the Suns lead by as many as 12 as the Nets shot 25 per cent from the field. Phoenix took its largest lead of the game at 46-32 with 3:47 to go in the second quarter after Gerald Green hit a free throw. Guard Eric Bledsoe scored all 13 of his first-half points in the quarter for the Suns. The Nets began to chip away. Shaun Livingston, Williams replacement at the point, scored the last six points of the first half and the Nets cut the Suns lead to 50-46 at halftime. Livingston finished with a season high 18 points and six assists. "Just not offensively but defensively, he was big for us," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "You tip your hat to him." The Nets stayed hot in the third quarter, scoring the first 16 points. Lopez, with only two points at the break, had for 10 in the first six-plus minutes of the third. His layup off a pass from Livingston made the score 62-50 for Brooklyn and prompted a Phoenix timeout. "When teams get tough like that, you have to buckle down," Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said. "Thats when other teams smell blood. They got a run going, then they turned up the defence." The Suns never led by more than four in the fourth quarter, and Johnsons driving layup with 5:21 to play gave the Nets an 84-83 lead. "They are more experienced than us, and they made the tough shot and we didnt," Dragic said. "But thats part of the sport." NOTES: Five Nets and three Suns are on the NBA All-Star ballot: Johnson, Williams, Garnett, Lopez and Paul Pierce (Fridays starting five for Brooklyn); and Bledsoe, Dragic and Markieff Morris for the Suns. ...

SEATTLE -- Mauro Rosales broke Seattles single-season assists record and Alvaro Fernandez scored twice to help the Sounders beat DC United 3-0 Saturday night before a sellout crowd that helped them set a new MLS attendance record. The 36,242 fans at CenturyLink Field pushed the Sounders attendance to 553,987 with two home games remaining. That breaks the mark of 542,600 they set last season. The Sounders (14-6-9, 51 points) have established a new league attendance record each season since joining Major League Soccer in 2009. Rosales was wrapping up a nice night when he sprained a ligament in his right knee in the 89th minute, when he was fouled by DC United defender Daniel Woolard. He will get an MRI on Monday. "I was really frustrated about this," Rosales said. "Nothing to lose, nothing to win and I get hurt." Rosales will not be available for Tuesdays CONCACAF Champions League match against Herediano, Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said. Mike Fucito opened the scoring in the 35th minute. He finished low and left past DC United goalkeeper Joe Willis for his second goal of the season. Rosales supplied the primary assist. During the two minutes of added time in the first half, the Sounders struck again. Fernandez was sent through on a slick pass by Rosales. Fernandez angled wide right a few steps inside the penalty box, then sent a grounded shot to the right of a diving Willis in the 45th minute for his seventh goal of the year. "Hitting that goal right before halftime maade a big difference," Sounders captain and goalkeeper Kasey Keller said.dddddddddddd Fernandezs second goal came deep in the box. Fredy Montero tried a header off a cross by Rosales, but Willis was able to use his left hand to stop it. Fernandez wheeled and converted the loose ball for a 3-0 lead in the 60th minute. "(Im) happy because it helps the team to get a win," Fernandez said. "On a personal note, it also gives me confidence for the future." Rosales now has 12 assists this season, two more than Monteros record set in 2010. Rosales has four goals and nine assists in his last 11 league games. DC United (8-8-10) posed few threats. It put two shots on goal in the first half, one a header from forward Joseph Ngwenya that was saved by Keller. Uniteds best chance came in the 72nd minute when Ngwenya came in alone on Keller and shot right. Keller made a diving save on the short-side shot. Keller also made a diving save on Josh Wolffs shot in the 80th minute. "I dont necessarily think it was a 3-0 game, but all coaches that lose 3-0 say that, dont they?" DC United coach Ben Olsen said. "Looking at the stats, its pretty close. We had some chances, unfortunately most of them when we were down several goals, but on the day they were a better team." Ngwenya (16th minute) and Seattle defender Tyson Wahl (41st minute) each received yellow cards in the first half. DC United midfielder Austin Da Luz received a yellow card in the 63rd minute. cheap jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
