Arenas's Timing Is Impeccable in Victory
Five seconds were left. Four were left. Then three. A Verizon Center crowd of 14,632 began to panic, figuring there was no way Gilbert Arenas would have time to break a tie with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Arenas had just crossed midcourt when he looked up at the clock above Milwaukee's basket and sized up the man assigned to him, Charlie Bell. With a simple flick of a wrist, Arenas released a jump shot from 32 feet that obediently fell through the net.
Ballgame.
The shot gave the Wizards a 108-105 victory, avenged a 17-point road loss to the Bucks on Saturday night and was the latest sign that Arenas, who will celebrate his 25th birthday tomorrow, deserves to be listed with the biggest stars in the game.
