For three quarters, P.J. Washington was having a forgettable night. Sort of like the Mavericks as a whole.
The Oklahoma City Thunder were controlling Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals and Washington had a goose-egg in the scoring department going into the fourth quarter.
Then, Washington came to life with nine points, including the two free throws with 2.5 seconds left that provided the winning points in the Mavericks’ 117-116 victory at American Airlines Center that delivered them to the Western Conference finals with a 4-2 series win over the Thunder.
“It’s a dream come true,” Washington said.
