Evans Scores 26 As Kings Hold Off Wizards 112-109

But you don’t see those types of plays often during the regular season. That’s why this play in particular was pretty amazing, when you consider the symbolism.

There’s Gilbert Arenas, who three years ago was the “it” player in the NBA for arguably the league’s “it” team, breaking a play, as he tends to do with 10 seconds left in a close game, to go one-on-one. On the other side, there’s Tyreke Evans, the phenom rookie for the league’s youngest and most surprising team to date. Present vs. future. Young vs. established. A classic showdown.
