Gilbert Arenas led the way with 22 points, Nick Young had 21 and Brendan Haywood grabbed 14 rebounds to go with eight points.

Milwaukee got 20 points each from Luke Ridnour and Hakim Warrick, both of whom came off the bench.

Boykins made two foul shots with 17.4 seconds to go, giving Washington a 102-99 lead, but Brandon Jennings hit a 3-pointer to tie it.

Washington then worked the ball to Boykins, who drove to the basket and was fouled by Jennings. After Boykins made his two free throws, a long 3-point attempt by Ridnour was well off the mark.

Milwaukee Coach Scott Skiles was ejected from the game with 29 seconds left in the first period, having received two technical fouls for arguing with official Sean Wright.
