NEW YORK, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith both had 20 points Friday in helping New York steadily pull away for a 108-87 decision over Washington.

Coming off their first win of the season, the Wizards faded during the second half while falling to 1-13.

New York hit 53 percent of its field goal attempts and forced 17 Washington turnovers.

The Wizards were led by 17 points off the bench from Jordan Crawford.
