A team from Washington, DC has found another new way to lose a playoff game. Paul Pierce's game-tying three at the buzzer sent Wizards fans into a frenzy. The Wiz were trailing by as many as 15 points in the second half and had no life offensively. Marcin Gortat had scored only 2 points in 12 minutes and Nene had made some key mistakes. Even Paul Pierce had looked old until that last shot, scoring only 4 points. But it was all for nothing, as Pierce's shot was waved off at the buzzer. He didn't get it off in time. The Wizards lose the series 4-2 to the Hawks.
Kevin Seraphin played well off the bench in place of Gortat, contributing 13 points and 8 rebounds. Bradley Beal and John Wall were also great again. Wall had 20 points and 13 assists while Beal was the game's leading scorer with 29 points.
While the Wizards' season ended in one of the toughest ways possible, fans have to be happy with the way the team fought this year, especially in the playoffs.
Final Score: Hawks 94, Wizards 91
