From USAToday CHICAGO — The Washington Wizards are one step away from winning their first NBA playoff series in 23 years, thanks to a step-up jumper from Gilbert Arenas.
Arenas hit a jump shot from the wing at the buzzer as the Wizards hung on to beat the Chicago Bulls 112-110 and take a 3-2 lead in their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series Wednesday. It was the first game a visiting team has won in the series. "I wasn't going to let anybody else shoot the ball," Arenas said. "I'd been passing it all night. I knew I was going to make it. I shoot that shot every day."
The Wizards had not won a road playoff game since April 18, 1986, when they beat the Philadelphia 76ers. They will try to close out the series Friday in Game 6 in Washington — where they've won 10 in row against the Bulls. For more read here...
