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 in the NBA on Sunday.

With Washington trailing 106-104 with 2.9 seconds to go, 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 Mickael Pietrus fouled Arenas with time left on the clock.

Warriors coach Don Nelson was issued a technical foul for arguing the call.

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.

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

At Milwaukee, Ben Gordon scored a career-high 48 points to help Chicago win in overtime and overcome Michael Redd's 52 for Milwaukee.
