Bucks edge Wizards
Associated Press
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 04 - 04 - 2008

Gilbert Arenas made a surprise return Wednesday night after 66 games away, but Ramon Sessions provided the Arenas-like dramatics with a 19-foot (6-meter) jumper at the buzzer to give the Milwaukee Bucks a 110-109 victory over the Wizards.
The Bucks, who never led by more than one point, set up the perfect inbounds play to win the game. With 1.1 seconds left, Royal Ivey threw the ball in to Andrew Bogut, who found Sessions open in the corner. There was barely a tick left on the clock as the ball left Sessions' hands, but the shot was clearly good upon instant replay review.
Until then, the evening belonged to Arenas, who scored 17 points and made a pair of free throws with 15 seconds to play to give the Wizards the lead. Arenas played 19 minutes and shot 5-of-9 from the field and 5-of-7 on free throws.
Celtics 92, Pacers 77: At Boston, Kevin Garnett had 20 points and 11 rebounds, and the Celtics beat Indiana to tie the NBA record for the best single-season turnaround. With the league's best record at 60-15, the Celtics have 36 more wins than last season when they finished 24-58, the NBA's second worst mark. The only other team to improve by that much was the San Antonio Spurs, who went from 20-62 in 1996-97 to 56-26 the next season, Tim Duncan's first.
Boston won its fifth straight and lowered its magic number for clinching the No. 1 seed to two. The Pacers were led by Danny Granger with 14 points.
Cavaliers 118, Bobcats 114: At Charlotte, North Carolina, LeBron James scored 29 points before fouling out for the only the third time in his career and wasn't on the floor when Cleveland snapped a six-game road skid. Devin Brown had 20 points, Anderson Varejao had 17 and 12 rebounds and Ilgauskas added 16 points and 12 rebounds for Cleveland. Richardson had 31 points, Emeka Okafor matched a season high with 25.
Hornets 106, Heat 77: At Miami, Tyson Chandler was a perfect 10-for-10 from the floor, and his 20-point, 10-rebound effort helped New Orleans down Miami and remain atop the Western Conference standings.
David West scored 22 points and Chris Paul added 14 points and 10 assists for the Hornets, who finished 5-1 on their six-game road trip through the East.
In other games it was: Grizzlies 130, Knicks 114; Hawks 127, Raptors 120, OT; Jazz 117, Timberwolves 100; Mavericks 111, Warriors 86; Clippers 102, SuperSonics 84; Lakers 104, Trail Blazers 91. __
