Re: Razzle-Dazzle in the Capital - Washington Wizards [ESPN 2K5]
@ 
The last time Washington and Toronto played, the Raptors handed the Wizards a loss. This time, the Wiz were looking for revenge.
The first half looked very good for Washington, as they jumped out to a huge lead early on. Up by almost 15 the entire way through the first two quarters, the Wizards had breathing room to do whatever, and Gilbert Arenas was a huge reason for this. He lit up Rafter Alston and Alvin Williams, scoring 15 points in the first half. Going into the intermission, the Wizards held a very comfortable lead.
In the second half, however, it was a completely different ballgame. Toronto played with a purpose, and Vince Carter showed why he was once viewed as the second coming of Jordan. Arenas and Jamison did their best to hold on to their lead from the previous half, but were unsuccessful. With a minute left, the Raptors found themselves within a point, and resorted to fouling. After Arenas drained two free throws, the Raptors hurried down court with the rock in Carter's hands. With 20 seconds left, he threw up a three pointer, and sunk it. With the game tied, the Wizards held for the last shot. Arenas was Iso'd against Alston, got an open look, and clanked it off the iron.
For the first few minutes of OT, it was all Wizards. The Raptors began to fall apart, and made people wonder how they had gotten this far in the game. Arenas continued to have a great game, and Antawn Jamison really stepped his game up. The Raptors made a late comeback attempt, but the Wizards held on to win the game, 94-91.
