WEDNESDAY, 3/2/05 – Just one day after getting lucky against the Chicago Bulls when shooting guard and catalyst Luol Deng had to leave his game against the Rockets for good, Houston had the exact opposite occur against them against Washington on Wednesday night.
Wizards guard Larry Hughes returned to the lineup for the first time after missing 20 games because of a broken thumb. Washington really missed him during his absence by winning only 9 of those games, and had lost 5 of their last six games. Hughes’ return made a big difference as he scored 31 points, grabbed 6 boards and had four assists to lead the Wizards to a 101-98 victory.
