D.J. LEADS BY ONE IN CHINA

-

The Warriors game went from basketball to basketbraw­l pretty quickly Friday night.

Draymond Green and Bradley Beal got tangled up under the basket and started a fight during the Wizards vs. Warriors matchup in California.

With less than a minute left in the first half, Green stuffed Beal. When the Warriors came away with the ball and the transition upcourt began moments later, Beal took a swipe at Green and hit him in the side of the face. The two immediatel­y went at it, grappling each other until they fell on the floor behind the basket.

Players from both teams got involved to break up the scrum before it escalated further. Both Green and Beal were ejected from the game. Green walked away with a ripped jersey, while Beal was given the middle finger by a Warriors fan during his exit in the tunnel. — Nicholas Parco game-winner. Tom Pyatt had scored for Ottawa on its second attempt.

Keith Kinkaid stopped Mike Hoffman on the Senators’ last try to give the Devils their seventh win in nine games.

Dustin Johnson was handed a new putter 15 minutes before he teed off and shot a 9-under 63 on Friday for a one-shot lead over Brooks Koepka going into the weekend at the HSBC Champions.

Johnson birdied his last four holes at Sheshan Internatio­nal using a TaylorMade Spider with a different insert. He was on the range when he got the new putter, rapped a few shots on the practice green and then made just about everything he looked at.

Johnson, the No. 1 player in the world and winner of the HSBC Champions four years ago, was at 13-under 131. Koepka birdied his first two holes and two of his last three holes for a 68. Justin Rose shot 68 and was four shots behind.
