Arenas beats Warriors in final second


Gilbert Arenas swished three free throws with 0.1 of a second remaining to give the Washington Wizards a wild 107-106 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday.

With Washington trailing 106-104 with 2.9 seconds remaining, Arenas caught an inbounds pass near the top of the key and drove to the basket. The horn sounded before Arenas released a shot, but the officials ruled that Golden State's Al Harrington fouled Arenas with time left on the clock.

Warriors coach Don Nelson was issued a technical foul for arguing the call, and Arenas was awarded a total of three free throws.

With the crowd on its feet, Arenas nailed the first two free throws before Golden State called timeout. He then calmly stepped back to the line and sank the third shot.

Golden State's ensuing inbounds pass sailed the length of the court out of bounds without being touched. Washington inbounded the ball and time expired.

Arenas scored a game-high 32 points, while Jason Richardson led Golden State with 28.
