DENVER (AP) -- Chris Andersen grabbed 11 rebounds and was one of four Denver players to score 17 points as the Nuggets beat the Washington Wizards 114-94 on Friday night.

Danilo Gallinari, Ty Lawson and Al Harrington also had 17, while J.R. Smith added 14 to lead six Nuggets players in double figures.

Jordan Crawford had 19 points, JaVale McGee had 13 points and 13 rebounds and John Wall had 13 rebounds and six assists for the Wizards.

Washington fell to 1-34 on the road and has two games left on its five-game Western Conference road trip.
