Washington's Gilbert Arenas made three free-throws after a technical foul was called on Golden State coach Don Nelson with less than a second to play, giving the Wizards a 107-106 win yesterday.

Arenas had missed a shot as the game-ending buzzer sounded but officials said he had been fouled by Warriors' Mickael Pietrus just before time expired.

Nelson vigorously protested the call and was charged with a technical, giving Washington the opportunity to come back from 106-104 down. Arenas made the three free-throws with 0.01 seconds on the clock to seal the win.

"That was bizarre," Arenas told reporters. "You've got to thank the refs for that one."
