2004–05 Washington Wizards season

The 2004–05 NBA season was the Wizards 44th season in the National Basketball Association, and their 32nd season in the city of Washington, D.C.[1] During the offseason, the Wizards acquired Antawn Jamison from the Dallas Mavericks. The Wizards got off to a decent start and played above .500 for the entire season. The Wizards posted a 20-win improvement over the previous season, finishing second in the Southeast Division with a 45–37 record, and made it back to the playoffs for the first time since 1997, back when they were known as the "Bullets". Gilbert Arenas averaged 25.5 points per game and was selected along with Jamison for the 2005 NBA All-Star Game. In the first round of the playoffs, the Wizards defeated the Chicago Bulls in six games after losing the first two games, winning their first playoff series since 1982, but were swept in the semi-finals by the Miami Heat in four straight games. This was the final full-season at MCI Center, which was rebranded as Verizon Center in January 2006. Following the season, Larry Hughes signed as a free agent with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Kwame Brown was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.
