Hughes carries Wizards

Triple-double dooms Raptors, 114-109

? Larry Hughes made sure he didn’t fall one assist short of his first career triple-double again.

Hughes had a season-high 33 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, leading the Washington Wizards past the Toronto Raptors, 114-109, in overtime Sunday.

Hughes smiled after getting his 10th assist on Brendan Haywood’s layup with 1:38 left in overtime. He said Haywood and Jared Jeffries cost him a triple-double in Friday’s overtime loss to Philadelphia

“Brendan and Jared missed two of my assists that would have given me one,” Hughes said. “We talked about it, and Brendan made sure he got it for me.”

Haywood didn’t want to let Hughes down again.

“He was real excited to get the ball into me. I was able to finish it for him,” Haywood said. “He was joking we cost him his triple-double.”

Hughes scored 21 points in the fourth quarter for the Wizards, who rallied from a 10-point deficit in the final 6:29 of regulation. His two free throws with 0.8 seconds left sent the game into overtime.

Washington was without coach Eddie Jordan, who was hospitalized with a blood clot in his left leg and is expected to return for their next game, Wednesday against New Jersey. Assistant Mike O’Koren is coaching the Wizards in his absence.

Heat 106, Celtics 104

Miami — Dwyane Wade had 25 points, Shaquille O’Neal added 21 and tied a team record by making all nine of his shot attempts, and Miami held off Boston. Paul Pierce missed one of two free throws with five seconds left that would have tied it for Boston, which lost its fourth straight.
