NBA: Denver 117, Washington 108

DENVER, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- Earl Boykins' 29 points Monday night powered the Denver Nuggets to a 117-108 victory over the visiting Washington Wizards.

Boykins also hit 14-of-15 from the free throw line helping take up the slack from missing top scorers Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith, who were among the seven Denver players suspended by NBA Commissioner David Stern for Saturday night's brawl with the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Both teams in the fight were fined $500,000.

Andre Miller added 27 points and Marcus Camby had 25 for the Nuggets, who won their second straight game. Camby also grabbed 17 rebounds and blocked seven shots.

Caron Butler had 25 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for the Wizards.
