Someone ask Yao Ming how to say "I dropped 31 points on your face" in Chinese.

The Washington Wizards have won eight in a row — with Larry Hughes in the lineup. Hughes, out the last seven weeks with a broken thumb, scored 31 points in Washington's 101-98 win over the Houston Rockets Wednesday night. Hughes, who hit for 21 of his points in the second half, nailed a three-pointer with 3:15 remaining, giving Washington a 93-91 lead it would never relinquish.

As a great man once said, "You've got to harvest your nuts right now, man."
