Arenas leads Wizards past Bucks 108-105


Gilbert Arenas hit a long 3-pointer at the buzzer, capping a 32-point game and giving the Washington Wizards a 108-105 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night.

Arenas hit his 30-footer, turned and strolled calmly away as if it were another shot on the playground, even as his teammates mobbed him in celebration. Arenas had three things working against him _ a sore shooting shoulder, the Bucks' zone defense and the old leather ball which he dislikes _ but he went 12-for-25 from the field and had 11 rebounds and eight assists.

Caron Butler added 29 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, and Antawn Jamison had 22 points for the Wizards, who earned a split of a home-and-home series. The Bucks beat Washington 119-102 in Milwaukee on Saturday.

Arenas got the chance at the game-winner after Charlie Bell missed a 3-pointer from the baseline with less than 10 seconds remaining.

Michael Redd led the Bucks with 27 points. Mo Williams scored 24, and Bell had 14.
