Washington fell 2 1/2 games behind eighth-place Milwaukee in the East.

After Bremer's basket, the Wizards trailed 85-83, but couldn't get the ball to Michael Jordan on their final possession. Tyronn Lue missed a tough 5m fadeaway, and neither Kwame Brown nor Christian Laettner could get the tip.

Bucks 112, Clippers 92

In Milwaukee, Toni Kukoc scored 26 points, tying his season high, as Milwaukee beat the Los Angeles Clippers.

Hawks 97, Nets 92

In Atlanta, Ira Newble hit a go-ahead 3-point shot in the final 1:38 as Atlanta held off a furious New Jersey rally.

Shareef Abdur-Rahim added another 3 points late in the game to extend the margin to six. And after Jason Kidd made a layup on the other end, Atlanta's Dion Glover made a free throw for the final margin.

Jason Terry scored 24 points for the Hawks.
