with a 93–82 win over the chicago bulls on april 13, 2005, the wizards clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 1996–97. long-suffering fans celebrated by buying over 16,000 playoff tickets in two and a half hours the day tickets went on sale. in game 3 of the first round against the bulls, the wizards won their first playoff game since 1988. adding to the "long-overdue" feeling was the fact that game 3 was the first nba playoff game to be held within washington, d.c. city limits. in the wizards' game 5 victory in chicago, arenas hit a buzzer-beater to win the game and the wizards took their first lead in a playoff series since 1986. in game 6 at the mci center, jared jeffries picked up a loose ball and went in for an uncontested tie-breaking dunk with 32 seconds left, thus giving the wizards a 94–91 win and the team's first playoff series win in 23 years. they were only the 12th team in nba history to win a playoff series after being down 0–2.
