FORT WORTH, Texas -- IndyCar owner Ed Carpenter now drives his car only on ovals. He does it well. Carpenter stayed in front of Will Power during a two-lap shootout to win at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday night after a late caution night wiped out his huge lead. The victory came two weeks after a late accident took away any chance to win the Indianapolis 500. "Its just good to bounce back," Carpenter said. "Nothing really totally makes up for missed opportunity at the Speedway. But at the same time, it always feels good to win, especially a place like this. ... This is a big win for us." On the final green-flag stop with 35 laps left, Carpenter beat polesitter and season points leader Power off pit road. Team Penske driver Power made things worse when he was penalized for speeding out of the pits. "Im just going too hard," said Power, who had his fourth drive-thru penalty in five races but kept the points lead. "I just go for race wins. Im not looking at points." Power was sixth, and Carpenter had a lead of about 18 seconds over Juan Pablo Montoya, when Takuma Satos engine blew and his car caught fire with seven laps left. While the top four cars stayed out during that caution, Power went in for fresh tires. That gave him the chance to make up some ground, and he made a big charge after the final restart to finish second, only a half-second back. With another lap, the outcome might have been different. "I dont know. Ed was awfully strong," Power said. "Hes an awesome driver and it would have been a good battle at the end. ... It was a lot of fun." Carpenters third career victory, all on ovals, came after leading 90 of 248 laps. After winning at Kentucky for Sarah Fisher Racing in 2011, he started his own team the next year and won the season finale at California. Carpenter was on the pole at Indy the last two seasons, and this year is leaving the road and street courses to Mike Conway. Conway won at Long Beach the second race this season and was in the cockpit for both races at Detroit last weekend. So this was the first race for Carpenter since the late crash at Indy with James Hinchcliffe. "It feels good. Theres no denying the fact that I was really mad after Indy," Carpenter said. "Its not that Im still mad at Hinch, but Im still mad at the situation and we lost an opportunity. ... Were just going to keep the intensity up and try to keep fighting for wins." Carpenter went to the high side to get around Power on lap 182, and within a lap had already pushed ahead by nearly a second. Power led 145 laps. Montoya finished third, ahead of Simon Pagenaud, Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan -- the only drivers to finish on the lead lap. Helio Castroneves, the defending race winner and a four-time winner at Texas, was 10th. The race was 20 laps longer than last year when Castroneves won. At the end of 228 laps, the length of the 2013 race, Carpenter had a 13 1/2-second lead over Montoya. Indianapolis 500 champion Ryan Hunter-Reay, the Dallas-born driver who has said he "definitely, desperately" wants to win at Texas, had another tough weekend and only finished 135 laps before losing power and oil pressure. Since winning at Indy, Andretti Motorsport driver Hunter-Reay finished 16th and 19th at the dual races in Detroit and 19th at Texas. Marco Andretti, his teammate, finished last in the 22-car field after his own mechanical issues. Andretti started 17th and quickly moved into the top 10 after three laps before his engine blew and the car caught fire while he was trying to get back into the pits. He had to stop on the apron out of Turn 4, then hopped out of the car and walked back to his pit box. "This ones frustrating and this one really hurts for the championship too," said Andretti, who entered the weekend fifth in season points, two spots below Hunter-Reay. Chris Paul USA Jersey .

The Wizards led by as many as 23 points in the third quarter but allowed the Celtics to come back and force overtime on Evan Turners 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds left in regulation. Earlier, Turner scored seven points during a 15-0 run in the fourth quarter that completed Bostons comeback from a 23-point deficit. The Celtics had seven-point leads in each of the overtimes but scored just two more points in the last two-plus minutes each time. The win gave the Wizards a split of a home-and-home set after dropping the opener 101-93 in Boston on Sunday. The Celtics comeback on Monday was fueled by its bench, which combined to score 82 points in the game. Jeff Green was the only starter to play all 10 overtime minutes as reserves Marcus Smart and Kelly Olynyk led the way. Celtics coach Brad Stevens said it was a no-brainer sticking with his bench players down the stretch. Those guys deserved to play at the end because they got us right back in it, he said. Smart had 23 points to lead the Celtics reserves, Olynyk and Brandon Bass each scored 19 and Turner had 18. Green scored 28 to lead Boston, which had a three-game winning streak snapped. Washington kept pace with Atlanta for first place in the Southeast Division after its four-game winning streak was snapped by the Celtics on Sunday. Wall finished with 26 points and 17 assists, including a kick-out to Paul Pierce for a 3-pointer at the top of the key that tied thee score with 38.dddddddddddd9 seconds remaining in the first overtime. Bass picked up a long rebound for Boston moments later but missed a breakaway layup before the buzzer with Pierce playing tight defense. In the second overtime, Olynyks elbow jumper gave the Celtics another seven- point lead, but Turners runner with 1:04 remaining counted as their only other points. Wall was fouled on a made layup and hit the free throw with 44.6 seconds left to give the Wizards their 133-132 lead. Turner missed a jumper at the buzzer with a chance to win it for Boston. Earlier, Pierces turnaround jumper gave the Wizards the lead with 1:24 left in regulation and they remained in front until one too many offensive rebounds in the waning moments allowed the Celtics to tie the score. The last came after Olynyk missed a straightaway 3-pointer and the ball was deflected out to Turner, who dribbled to the right corner and swished his 3. Rasual Butlers heave at the buzzer from well behind the 3-point line was well off the mark for Washington. The Wizards had a 13-point lead at halftime and went ahead by as many as 23 several times in the third quarter, the last on Walls runner with 2 1/2 minutes left. The Celtics scored the next 11 points to pull within 12 and trailed 92-76 at the buzzer. Bostons 15-0 run turned a 102-88 deficit into a 103-102 lead on Turners 3 with 3 1/2 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Game Notes Washington has won five straight at home ...
