Wizards Beat Atlanta After Losing JordanWizards head coach Eddie Jordan left the game in the first quarter with a virus, returned, then left for good in the second quarter to be treated for dehydration, but his club was able to hold off the Hawks without him, escaping with a 102-99 win. Larry Hughes scored 26 points, Etan Thomas had 16 and Jared Jeffries had a career-high 10 assists. Washington players have lost 271 games due to injury this season. ``Everybody has to take their turn,'' said guard Larry Hughes, whose turn consisted of 20 games on the sidelines with a broken thumb earlier this season. ``It's something we have to deal with. We have to go out and win without Coach.'' Al Harrington had 20 points and Josh Smith had 17 for the Hawks.

"I went into this season thinking this was it," said Gugliotta, whose Hawks will take the floor against Washington Wednesday night at the MCI Center in the same town his NBA career began. "It's just the way I approached this whole thing, that I'd retire after this year and get one with the life." "Teams in this league have this thing about going young. It's an epidemic," said Gugliotta, 35. "If you're not the future you're not the present. And that's just a fact. And to be honest, I like it the way it is now, me playing on year-to-year contracts. That way I can sit back and evaluate my options and then decide what I want to do. "Sometimes guarantees in this league don't mean a whole lot," Gugliotta said. "I had guarantees (in Boston) from both the GM and the coach that I'd get a legitimate chance to play and do some things and it didn't happen. And I thought that was a pretty good guarantee."
