The closing of a close game is usually referred to as "Jordan Time".  But last night in Washington the closing of the Wizards-Heat game could be referred to as 'Grant Time', or maybe even 'Jackson Time', the duo playing major roles in the Heat's 97-95 victory.

It was Brian Grant who hit a 16 foot baseline jumper with 1.6 seconds left in the game to give the Heat a two point lead, setting the scene for more Jordan heroics with the Wizards holding one last shot at a tie or a win.  The Wizards could not inbound the ball to Jordan, who had tied the game with a nice move just before Grant's shot, dropping the shot clock down to 0.7 seconds left in the game.

The Heat then did a terrific job of denying MJ the ball, leaving Popeye Jones the only option of Richard Hamilton who's shot was blocked in epic fashion by Jim Jackson.

"Both coaches are very smart, and execution was a premium," Jordan said. "They just had a little more time to work their play we did."
