Ramon Sessions hit a jump shot at the final buzzer to give the Milwaukee Bucks a 110-109 win at Washington Thursday night.

The rookie point guard played the entire fourth quarter for the second straight game.

It was Milwaukee’s first road victory in eight tries and it gave the Bucks back to back wins for only the fifth time this season and the first since February 25 and 26.

The Bucks came back from 10 points down in the final seven minutes.

Charlie Villanueva led Milwaukee with 24 points and 12 rebounds and six other Bucks scored in double figures, as the team shot 55-percent.

For the Wizards, Gilbert Arenas played for the first time since hurting a knee four months ago. He played 19 minutes and scored 17.

Racine native Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison each had 18, as Washington shot 56-percent.

Despite the win, Milwaukee was officially eliminated from playoff contention when the Atlanta Hawks won Thursday night.

The Bucks return home to play Indiana Friday night.
