The night is December 22, 2006. The Phoenix Suns behind 2-time MVP Steve Nash were riding a 15 game winning streak. Meanwhile the Wizards had won 4 of their last 5, including a win in L.A. where Gilbert dropped 60 points on the Lake Show. You all know how this epic battle between two of the league’s best point guards would turn out, but now video of all the shots made by Arenas and Nash from this classic are up on YouTube for everyone’s enjoyment:

Only six FTs….how ’bout that.
I remember watching this game with a group of friends at Buffalo Billiards in DC. Arenas had the place captivated…..not too many times one could say that about pro basketball and DC

that was a great outside offense show…
but show’s how poor these two teams are in perimeter defense..
it’s good to know though that agent zero can outscore the highest scoring team that year…^_^
