Washington ? Jerry Stackhouse had no problem counting to 2.9. His dunk at the buzzer left the Los Angeles Lakers counting to three, as in three straight losses.

Throwing and inbounds pass with 2.9 seconds left, Stackhouse got it back on a give-and-go with Byron Russell. With Michael Jordan as a decoy, Stackhouse found an open path to the basket and arrived just in time to give the Washington Wizards a 100-99 victory Friday night.

“Two-point-nine seconds is a lot of time,” Stackhouse said. “I felt like I had time to get there. If I saw somebody under there I might have pulled up, but nobody was there.”

Stackhouse scored 29 points, stealing the show from Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Jordan scored a season-high 25 points and played well for 31¼2 quarters, but he made a bad foul with 25 seconds left and missed two free throws in the final 20 seconds.

“I missed some easy free throws,” said Jordan, who played 30 minutes and shot 9-of-14. “Obviously, you never want to be in a position where you have a chance to help the team and you don’t help them.”

Yet, Jordan was a key player on the game-winning play. He took his defender to the weakside, keeping the Lakers from collapsing on the basket to stop Stackhouse.

Stackhouse’s dunk was reviewed by officials under the NBA’s new instant replay rule. The tape showed Stackhouse made the dunk two-tenths of a second before the buzzer.
