Steve Buckhantz, Wizards Announcer, Mistakes Trevor Ariza Airball For Buzzer Beater (VIDEO)

WATCH: Announcer Blows Game-Ending Call

By Matt Yoder, Awful Announcing

At the end of Wednesday night's Wizards-Pistons game, Washington Wizards play by play man Steve Buckhantz gave us one of the funniest announcing bloopers in the history of the microphone. Buckhantz called Trevor Ariza's corner three pointer at the buzzer as a game winner and even gave his signature "DAGGER!" call. Only one slight problem...

Ariza's shot was actually an airball.

From the booth it must have looked like the ball went through the net, but in actuality it just brushed the cords. The result was an excited announcer going nuts while his team walked somberly off the floor.

That's so Wizards!
