WASHINGTON -- Jordan Crawford had a burst of offense midway through the fourth quarter that spurred the Washington Wizards to a 10-point lead.

 

Then he could only try to keep Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving from erasing it.

 

Irving led a Cleveland rally in the final minutes but came up just short as Washington held on for a 101-98 win Saturday night.

 

Crawford finished with 31 points, including 10 during a 14-5 run in the fourth quarter that gave the Wizards a 96-86 lead with 3:45 left.

 

Irving scored 20, including eight of the Cavaliers' nine points in the final 2½ minutes.

 

The final stretch was nerve-racking for Crawford, right up until Anthony Parker's 3-point attempt missed at the buzzer and the Wizards' six-game losing streak ended.

 

"You want to win it so bad," Crawford said. "The time's going slow, they're making runs, making big plays. I just wanted to get it over with."

 

Antawn Jamison scored 29 in his return to Washington but missed a 3-point attempt to tie the game with 35 seconds to play. It was Jamison's first appearance in the Verizon Center since being traded from the Wizards to Cleveland in February 2010.
