Arenas leads Wizards over Kings
Basketball Betting Lines
02/23/2007 -
Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Gilbert Arenas scored 43 points and
Washington overcame a monumental collapse in the fourth quarter and a waived-
off three-pointer at the buzzer by Sacramento's John Salmons to post a 109-106
win at the Verizon Center.
In what proved to be a crazy ending, the Wizards blew a 17-point final quarter
lead and nearly gave the game away, but managed to pull out their third
straight win.
Arenas hit two foul shots with 9.5 seconds left to extend the Wizards to a
107-103 lead, but Salmons nailed a three from the left corner with 1.4 seconds
remaining.
The Kings then fouled Jarvis Hayes before the ball was inbounded, and Hayes
made the free throw, with Washington retaining possession. Arenas was fouled
with 0.7 seconds left, and until that point had made all 15 of his free
throws. However, Arenas missed the first try before conferring with coach
Eddie Jordan what to do with the second attempt since the Kings were out of
timeouts.
Arenas made the second try, but Brad Miller's long inbounds pass sailed over
Arenas' head and into the hands of Salmons, who stepped back behind the three-
point line and made the shot. After an extensive replay, it was determined
Salmons didn't release the ball before the red light showed up around the
backboard, signaling the end of the game.
Arenas also had seven rebounds, seven assists and nine turnovers, but shot 12-
of-22 from the field.
Caron Butler ended with 25 points and DeShawn Stevenson had 21 for the
Wizards, who swept the season series from Kings for the second straight year.
Ron Artest scored 32 and Mike Bibby had 30 for the Kings, who lost for the
fourth time in five games. Miller had 13 rebounds.
Two free throws from Butler extended Washington's lead 95-78 with 8:10
remaining, but the Kings responded with a 21-3 run, taking the lead on a
Miller layup with 3:02 left.
The back-and-forth action continued to the end. Bibby nailed a three for a
103-102 Kings lead, but missed another long distance shot. Arenas then hit two
free throws and Butler one for a 105-103 margin.
Washington led 33-29 after one quarter and 57-49 at the half. Stevenson's slam
at the end of the third moved the Wizards to an 85-73 cushion.
Game Notes
Washington outrebounded the Kings, 42-35...Sacramento committed 24 turnovers,

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
