We nearly blew a 18 point lead, thank goodness we held on. Jalen Rose had a somewhat open jumped from one of the corners and it kept rattling and really slowly fell out, and everyone was waiting for it to come down. Everyone that was at the basket kept fumbling with it and it came back out to Jalen Rose or Mike James, then Mike James hit a 3 to give us some breathing room, bringing the lead up to 4 (i was extremely nervous when he threw up that 3). Then Gilbert Arenas drives back into the lane and hits a layup. Mike James then gets the ball takes it back and then throws up another 3 (once again, my heart nearly stopped, thought it wasnt going in) and it went in, increasing the lead to 5. For the next 24 seconds, washington threw up 3s, that didnt work, after their first attempt, Bosh got the rebound, was fouled and hit his 2 freethrows. they threw up another bunch of shots but none of them went in and we hanged on for the win.
