That was bad defense by the Wizards and they should've called timeout with 0.9 seconds left. Bad play down the stretch by the Wizards, but LeBron played fantastic with 45
They didn't have any timeouts left, otherwise they would have called it with 0.9 seconds left.This series is far from over... Washington has played them tough on the road in every game except Game 1. If Washington can take care of business at home in Game 6, they can still beat Cleveland in 7.

That's crazy, first they have just a ridiculous defensive lapse, Lebron could've crawled to the hoop, then they just completely forget how much time/how many timeouts they have left.
The 2nd best game of the playoffs besides Suns-Lakers. I look forward to seeing a game 7 going back to Cleveland.
Man, how the hell can you let a guy score a game-winning layup?? I mean really?? And wtf was Gil doing chucking up a half-court shot with .9 seconds left, didnt we have timeouts left so we could at least draw something up? The Wiz better show up on Friday and win this in 7.
i think they used their last timeout. anyway lebron is defying all odds. everyone has been talking about him not being a clutch player all this season and last night he proved again that he can be. lebron is going to be great and i'm glad i get to witness it because i only got a small glimpse of greatness when jordan was around. with lebron i'm seeing it from the beginning. i can't wait till he gets a ring and shuts the critics up.

LeBron screwed us at the end of the game, but you can't complain when he did so good untill then and then made the game winner in OT.Eric Snow was a hero in OT, scored the first 6 points for the Cavs and had some tight defense.Bad move by Hughes towards the end of regulation (about under 2:30). He saw an opening to the hoop and went for a layup, he missed it. Why was that a bad move? He only wasted 3 to 4 seconds of the clock. The Wizards came back and got some momentum going, I wasn't happy by that play. But great game by Hughes.Arenas really amazed me that game, I have to admit. Him and Jamison were great offensively. Jamison had some good moments.Defensive rotation wasn't anything to brag about by the Cavs. To many times they get caught rotating wrong on the pick-and-roll. They got confused about how they wanted to play it.Z had horrible defensive pressence in the paint. Guys like Arenas and Danniels were able to drive to the hoop and weren't affriad of Z down there (not good for a 7'3 guy).Ball movement was way better than game 4. Finally we didn't play as much one-on-one and we passed the ball to create something. The posting up was good and the guards did a good job of seeing it and getting the posts the ball.Great game, I got nervous and mad that the Cavs and (LeBron's last play) let the Wizards back in and sent it to OT. But they did great in OT.
Halftime. We're up by 1, 49-48. Again, we had a double-digit lead, but once again, we blew it. I have mixed feelings about the second half, we might not show up. Haywood is doing great in the paint, Arenas needs to calm down and just go with the flow, Butler needs to drive more, and Jamison needs to stop commiting fouls. Oh, and CAN SOMEONE STOP DONYELL FREAKIN' MARSHALL? He's the only one really helping LeBron, and 'Bron is getting too many points near the basket. Force him to take JUMPSHOTS.I hope we come out strong in the 2nd half...
Wow... the refs missed a big goaltend call on that missed Arenas lay-up...ARENAS WITH THE DEEP THREE!!!Varejao screwed up for Cleveland though. Inbounding the ball, and then LBJ calls time-out. That's a no-no...
