The Washington Wizards are hanging in there after a rough first quarter, and they were able to essentially keep pace with the Bulls in the second period, though that also means they're still down double digits at the break.
John Wall has 14 points on 4-9 shooting to lead Washington, though he has only one assist to go with three turnovers. JaVale McGee also is in double figures with 11, and Nick Young has five points.
