Bob Feerick’s buzzer-beater gave the Capitols a 57-55 win over the Warriors in Washington. The Caps opened the game on a 23-1 run, but the Warriors clawed back to take the lead in the third quarter and held it into the fourth to make it a game. Washington held the ball for over a minute at the end of the game before Feerick’s winning shot. Warriors head coach Eddie Gottlieb argued that the shot came after the final whistle but his protests fell on deaf ears.Joe Fulks scored a game-high 20 points.
