If you weren't paying attention or missed it... Washington was playing Boston in game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Boston was leading the series, 3 games to 2.
If Boston wins then they advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. If Washington wins there is a game 7. So, it was a "win or go home" game for Washington.
The stage was set, now all they had to do was play...
To be honest the game was pretty ugly for most of the contest. Neither team was shooting particularly well and it was not pretty to watch.
However, that all changed at the very end. With Washington down by 2 points, John Wall took a contested 3 pointer with seconds left on the clock. It went in!
Now Washington had a 1 point lead with only seconds left.
Boston in-bounded the ball to Isaiah Thomas. His fade away shot at the buzzer would not go and the game was over. Washington survived to fight another day.
Game 7 is listed for Monday night, in Boston.
Not sure about you, but I know I will be watching!
Did anyone else catch that ending? Incredible finish to an otherwise ugly game.

That was a close one. John Wall's 3 pointer had me jumping out of my seat. Then the Celtics almost made that last shot which would have won them the game if it wasn't for the Wizard's great pressure. I love it when games come down to the final seconds it's what makes Basketball such an exciting sport.

Nice recap! The ending was amazing. Several clutch shots were made in the last 2 minutes. Personally i rooted for Wizards, so i was happy with the result, but what a finish. Can't wait for game 7!
