Wizards Win Vegas Finale

The Washington Wizards closed their summer league schedule with an 89-84 win over the New York Knicks on Sunday in Las Vegas. Second-year center JaVale McGee, who held his own against top overall draft pick Blake Griffin a night earlier, keyed Sunday's win with 31 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. The Wizards finished the session with a 3-2 record, their first winning record in summer league play since 2004. . . .

The Cleveland Cavaliers signed restricted free agent Jamario Moon to an offer sheet. Moon spent last season with the Miami Heat, who confirmed the offer first reported by ESPN.com. Terms were not disclosed. . . .

First-round draft pick Hasheem Thabeet signed with the Memphis Grizzlies. The 7-foot-3 center from Connecticut was the second pick in the draft. Thabeet is due to make about $7.7 million over two years under the rookie salary scale.

GOLF

Victory for Van Pelt

Bo Van Pelt defeated John Mallinger on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff to win his first PGA Tour event in 228 starts, the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee. Van Pelt and Mallinger finished regulation at 13-under-par 267, and after both golfers birdied the first playoff hole, Mallinger bogeyed the second playoff hole before Van Pelt made par.

Jerry Kelly finished third, one shot out of the playoff. . . .

Defending champion Rick Rhoden held on to claim a record eighth victory at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in Stateline, Nev., after Dan Quinn's comeback attempt ended with a shot into the pond guarding the 18th hole.

Rhoden, a former all-star pitcher, shot a 2-over 74 that was good enough to claim the $125,000 winner's check at Lake Tahoe.
