Gilbert Arenas hit a 14-foot jumper at the buzzer Wednesday night, foiling a remarkable 22-point comeback by the Chicago Bulls and giving Washington a 112-110 victory and a 3-2 series lead.

``I knew I was going to make it. I shoot those shots every day,'' Arenas said.

``You dream about it when you are growing up and when you get that chance, you don't want to blow it."

Arenas scored 16 points while Larry Hughes had 33.

``I think he (Hinrich) was counting the time in his head, too, so with 3 seconds left he probably thought I was going to pull up for the '3','' Arenas said.

``But I was going to take one more dribble and try to use my athleticism and just jump over him.''
