DENVER — Colorado had speed and youth. Nashville brought experience and know-how.

WASHINGTON — The Toronto Raptors saw their playoff series lead disappear on Sunday.

Bradley Beal scored 31 points, while John Wall had 27, and the Washington Wizards beat Toronto 106-98 to tie their opening-round Eastern Conference series at two games apiece.
